Trusted Regina Insurance experts at Campbell and Haliburton Insurance Inc have been in the community for over 50 years. They know it is customer service and knowledge that counts when you are in need of an insurance company in Regina. Campbell & Haliburton Insurance, myCH.ca, dedicated insurance brokers in Regina, can assist you with finding the plan that works best for you. In their latest Campbell & Halliburton Regina Home insurance tip, they are going to review: can you gift a vehicle to a family member?
The short answer is “it depends.”
What do you mean by a family member? We all consider “family” to mean different things. For some, our spouse’s second cousin’s aunt’s brother-in-law twice removed is family. For others, we got lost in the “second cousin” part. Thankfully SGI had defined who is and who is not qualified as family when it comes to gifting as vehicles. The term that they use is “First Degree Relatives” First Degree Relatives would include spouse, parent, child, grandparent, grandchild and sibling. Actually, it gets a little more technical than that, so the best to ask before you give away your vehicle. You can contact our motor license issuers at hello@mych.ca or on MyCH live chat.
Once you have determined that the person to whom you are gifting qualifies as a First Degree Relative you will need to draft a letter stating your relationship with the new owner. The new owner needs to present this letter when they are registering the vehicle. Now if the vehicle has not had the Saskatchewan tax paid it will be subject to PST. But again, our knowledgeable staff can assist with the fine points of this.
What if you want to not gift the vehicle, but sell it for a low, low cost? The same rules apply. If you are looking to sell for less than the fair market or red book value, it must again be to the first degree relative.
We get it, when we are passing on vehicles to family members, typically we either give them the vehicle or sell them for a dollar. However the mold can be broken, when Daryl’s daughter was due to inherit his car he sold it to her for a whopping $3.28. Why that amount? Simple! Daryl loves coffee, and a large dark roast coffee at his favourite coffee shop cost exactly $3.28. That’s him! How about you? What is the most outrageous price you have ever sold a vehicle for? Let us know on our Facebook page.
Based on our research and the current guidelines from SGI, it is a fact that you can gift a vehicle to a family member.

Erica has a passion for interior design and organization! She joined Robinson Residential Design in 2021 and often gets to use her diploma in Interior Design Technology in residential projects. She has an eye for colour and loves creating 3D models in SketchUp. Erica enjoys working with intelligent, creative individuals and learning something new every day. Erica also enjoys a few hobbies – she plays the piano, and soccer and also enjoys playing with her kitty Terrance.
We sat down with her to ask her about her job and what she likes about working with Artemis!
What attracted you to interior design/decorating?
For as long as I can remember when I would walk into a room, I would imagine what I would do to make the space more beautiful. I would conceptualize all the ways I would improve the space and make it function better. I realized I had an eye for interior design when friends and family would always ask for my advice, and I genuinely loved helping them with their designs. Because of this, I decided to go to school to expand my knowledge and learn more about the field of interior design.
What is your favourite room to decorate? Why?
I enjoy designing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces the most because they are typically used the most. I like to challenge myself in making these harmonize together and set the tone for the entire home. These are also the spaces that generally have main features I like to make the accents. Whether it be beams, fireplaces, or a spectacular view, I enjoy making these areas stand out as features.
Where do you look for inspiration?
I look for inspiration all around me. When I go for walks in my neighbourhood, I like to see all of the character houses and what other people are doing with their homes. I follow many architectural and interior design accounts where I save inspirational photos on a daily basis, hoping I can one day personalize aspects of each design. I also look for inspiration from my coworkers who have outside-the-box ideas and the experience to help construct the design architecturally.
How is it working with Artemis & what do you like about our homes?
Artemis will allow designs to have quality products and materials in order for the concept to come together in a meaningful way. Attention to detail is important when a design package is created and Artemis takes the time to understand why you chose the finishes you chose and agrees to make each individual choice a priority to pulling off the entire look. They do not shy away from designs or cut corners because they are complex, expensive, or time-consuming, they put pride into their work and make the home beautiful so that the space can be enjoyed by anyone who resides in it.
What stands out about Artemis Homes?
It takes really great people to trust your process and take the time to listen and envision your design with you. The encouragement and support received in making your concept become a reality is unmatched. Working with people who care as much as you do about the overall outcome is extremely beneficial for any home designer. Myles specifically takes the time to hear my design ideas and does everything he can to make the concept a reality.
What’s your top design tip?
The best thing you can do for yourself when designing your own home is to not pay attention to fads but to stay true to your own taste. I would recommend keeping main finishes neutral so you can express your personality through interchangeable items, i.e., pillows, blankets, and patterns. This is the most cost-effective way to update the entire look of your home by changing out stylish items which will always look good with a neutral background.

I believe that relationships are more important than transactions. I started a career in real estate in 2006, and since that time I have built a Regina real estate business around that philosophy. My goal is a personalized one-on-one service to fully understand you, your real estate goals, and to be 100% accountable to you. In my latest blog post, I share the advantages of working with a REMAX Crown Real Estate Agent in Regina.
Why I am Proud to be your RE/MAX Crown Real Estate Agent in Regina
Buying or selling a home is likely the largest and most important transaction you’ll ever make. That’s why so many people trust RE/MAX: the most widely recognized real estate brand in the world. For more than 20 years, RE/MAX has been the leading real estate organization in Canada. By providing the best training, administrative and marketing support, brokers and agents are free to focus on what they do best: SELL real estate.
As a RE/MAX Crown Real Estate Agent, I am focused on providing you with the best results and service in the industry. I listen carefully to understand your real estate goals and work hard to create solutions that make sense for you. Whether you are new to the market or an experienced investor, I have the expertise, proven track record, and resources to help you achieve your real estate goals. A common mantra in real estate is “location, location, location.” REMAX agents have extensive knowledge of the Regina area and can help find the right home for you or the right buyer for your home.
As a RE/MAX agent, I am supplied with exclusive tools and training to ensure I have the skills they need to effectively guide you through the real estate process. In fact, Canadian RE/MAX agents averaged twice as many transactions as its competitors. (based on 2015 closed transactions source: CREA, RE/MAX) and have more specialized designations than any others, making them Canada’s most productive agents.
Tech Savvy
RE/MAX has always been a leader in the real estate industry, adopting the latest technology and creating innovative marketing programs. RE/MAX was the first brand to expand its reach to the global market through a revolutionary global listing site. With listings from more than 80 countries, displayed in over 40 languages, RE/MAX agents have the opportunity to search and post listings internationally, making international transactions easier than ever.
Community
At the heart of RE/MAX is a deep commitment to the communities we operate in. This was another big reason why I was drawn to the brand as a new agent back in 2006. RE/MAX Crown Real Estate Agents succeed with dedication, experience and community involvement. As a team, we have raised thousands of dollars through charity work, and we channel those funds into local and regional children’s medical facilities to improve the quality of life in our local communities!
All RE/MAX Agents display the Miracle Home sign on property listings. As we are committed to helping hospitalized children across our province and have pledged a portion of their income from the sale of that home to the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.
If you are looking for a Regina Realtor who works tirelessly on your behalf and always offers honest and candid advice, James will be an expert at your side.
Sell Your Home For The Best Possible Price, With The Least Amount Of Time and Stress!
