WINMAR® to fly in 2023 Give Hope Wings Prairie Expedition

Pilot Kyle Jacques, and his co-pilot Yianni Macris, along with the support of WINMAR® Property Restoration Specialists, will be flying in the 6th Annual Give Hope Wings Prairie Expedition from June 18th through June 23rd. I have attached a press release and an infographic where you can make a donation to support Kyle, Yianni and WINMAR® on their journey!



"As the owner of multiple WINMAR® franchises in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, I understand the importance of helping our local communities and supporting those who support us each day. Often the remote communities that are spread throughout the Great Plains are still left without access or adequate transportation to the larger cities to access health and medical resources when they truly need them. Without a program like Give Hope Wings, some would never make it to medical appointments. In efforts to bridge this gap and to raise awareness to others that these programs and opportunities are out there for families truly in need. I will be taking part in Give Hope Wings expedition of 2023. The idea of helping remote communities and deserving families transport loved ones to the medical care they need, that they normally may not be able to get to, is not only life-changing for those families but also truly soul-filling for the ones helping make these differences in the lives of many.” – Kyle Jacques



The Give Hope Wings Prairies Expedition begins and ends in Regina. The group will fly east to Winnipeg, north to Thompson, then west to Fort McMurray then back via Lethbridge.

This is a total of 2,245m if you fly the entire route, about 23 hours at 100K.

The Expedition is organized so that you may join the group at any stop and finish at any point as well.


Give Hope Wings has raised more than $1.8 Million since 2017, which is enough to fund nearly 6000 flights for needy patients. For 2023, they’re targeting $600,000 raised which will help more than 2,000 individual patients in their healthcare journey. Our patient ambassadors, along with the impact it has on their family and friends, are the people you help by supporting Give Hope Wings.


Thank you again for considering the important role you can play in helping patients get medical care. If you'd like to support this cause, you can make a donation here: https://support.hopeair.ca/give-hope-wings/kyle-jacques-winmar

This latest article celebrates and recognizes WINMAR® Regina, a Trusted Regina contractor specializing in abatement and disaster services. 


'We're Coming Through For You'


WINMAR® Regina


Who do you turn to after a disaster? You talk to your insurance company but then what? You are asked to get quotes to rebuild your life. As part of Canada's most extensive restoration network, WINMAR® Regina has been in business since 2010; a family-owned business that carries the values of the Co-owners, Anna Tzortzis and Kyle Jacques: honesty, integrity and a high level of professionalism. When disaster strikes, customers are provided with a personal service with a fundamental understanding of their loss.


Anna got her start in the construction business when she was just a teenager at her mother and stepfather's WINMAR® location in Chatham, Ontario. She started as a labourer, and she was working and learning how to run the office when she graduated high school. Kyle began construction during his teen years as well. Continuing in the construction field after high school, he found himself working as a roofing contractor for WINMAR® Chatham. That is where this power couple met and the beginning of something special.


Anna and Kyle started dating in 2013 and married in 2017. Together they are raising their two children. This family enjoys camping outdoors, snowmobiling and playing on their five acres. But for how much fun they have away from job sites and the office, work is a serious business for this couple.




WINMAR® Regina works with insurance companies to restore all kinds of claim work. These specialists are trained to take on a damage claim caused by anything from earth, fire, wind or water as a minor repair or a fully finished restoration. From city to country, firm to farm, they will do it all — residential, business or commercial.

But what if the problem wasn't from a disaster? Kyle and his crew also cover a wide range of specialties, from asbestos abatement and mould removal. They are qualified in water damage restoration, structural drying, microbial remediation, fire and smoke restoration and odour control. Winmar has the qualified staff for customized repair, or renovations, leaving you to decompress — not stress.

A LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SUCCESS STORY.  

Anna and Kyle have grown their business significantly since the Trusted Regina team first met them in 2012. They now own 5 WINMAR® locations across Saskatchewan, and recently, they moved into Manitoba! 


WINMAR® Regina, SK, was opened by Anna in 2010 and she brought Kyle into the Regina location in 2013.

WINMAR® Moose Jaw, SK – Kyle opened in 2010 with Anna's parents. Kyle and Anna are the current owners.

WINMAR® Estevan, SK – Kyle and Anna opened in 2016

WINMAR® Yorkton, SK – Kyle and Anna opened in March 2019

WINMAR® Brandon, MB – Kyle and Anna opened in September 2022


A FOUNDATION BUILT ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT.


WINMAR® Regina believes in having a positive and meaningful impact in the communities where they operate. They proudly support many local non-profits and organizations. Since their teen years, Anna and Kyle have spent their time restoring the lives of others. Even through their charitable work, they have been involved in helping children live better lives. They have made donations, including Ronald McDonald House and fundraising for autism. They have been involved with Santa's Anonymous and the Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton. They also sponsor the Regina PATS. Whatever they can get involved with, they will get involved with.


Anna launched Willy WINMAR®, everyone's favourite handy-bear, on July 1st, 2021. Willy has already attended Regina's "Food Truck Wars," "Summer Bash, and Summer Market" and has posed in countless selfies with his adoring fans.


This cuddly blue bear has only started working but has a vital role in the community. There could be times of trauma when Willy Winmar will be on-site handing out teddy bears to children who need a stuffed friend…a simple act of kindness showing this family-owned company's integrity.


WINMAR® Regina's most recent donation initiative was before Christmas 2022, and it was to the Inpatient Mental Health Adolescent Unit and Youth Detox at the Regina General Hospital.  


They took "Willy WINMAR®," shopping at Walmart in the Eastend and bought several items from a list provided by the Units manager,  Shalon Fleming BPAS; CSEP, CEP. 

They got pretty much everything on the list and purchased an additional Ten $25 gift cards to top up anything else they may have needed that was not on the list. The total tally of the Donation was $2,600.


They then ventured to the Hospital, where the staff greeted the WINMAR®  with lots of excitement and appreciation for the gesture. They also mentioned that they do not receive much attention regarding people or companies donating to their Unit. Willy finally arrived at the Adolescent Psychiatry Unit and wandered down the halls handing out some of the gifts purchased earlier that morning. They shared that the expressions on the kids' faces were priceless. They were hugging Willy, High pawing him and just super happy to see him and receive these items.



What WINMAR® Regina Clients Say…


“ WINMAR® did a total home renovation after a fire at my house.  The service was excellent and they did an amazing job, especially during COVID.  The whole WINMAR® team deserves recognition.  Their sub-contractors were very good too with Velocity Plumbing and Heating doing the HVAC and Active Electric doing the electrical.  All were professional and communicated with me as the homeowner.  I would recommend them all.”- Don Hamilton
“We recently had water damage to our family room bar area.  My insurance adjuster hooked me up with WINMAR®.  Their reps called me immediately and came over to inspect the damages within the hour.  The next day they had a team remove old rugs, tile-damaged walls, etc.  I found their team to be very courteous, friendly and hard-working.  Our Project Manager was amazing.  He made sure the workers and job duties were coordinated in a timely manner and that everything was done to our satisfaction.  I would recommend this company to anyone”- Patti Schlechter

A word from Trusted Sara about her personal experience with WINMAR® Regina


“ I first met Anna in 2012 and was impressed by her drive and I enjoyed hearing her entrepreneurial story. I had been referred to her by Selena, her cousin, who, at the time,  also co-owned a WINMAR® franchise in Saskatchewan. There's not many women owned disaster services and construction companies, so I was interested to hear how she ended up owning a WINMAR® franchise in Regina. Anna shared that she was a second generation WINMAR® franchise owner, and that she had literally grown up in the industry. It was clear that she was not afraid of getting her hands dirty, Anna is a shinning example of a woman in trades,  and she really knows her stuff! Over the years it has been wonderful to see how Anna and Kyle have grown and expanded their business, they are a dynamic duo and 100% committed to doing the best job they can for their clients, partners and the growing team of employees across the Prairies.  Community support is a big part of their brand, and the whole family get involved in giving back in so many ways.

Winmar your Trusted Regina disaster services experts share a tip on Water Damage

WINMAR® Regina performs restoration services for residential and commercial properties across Saskatchewan. Our crews offer prompt and professional services to help our customers get back to pre-loss life with the least amount of interruption and associated costs as possible. . They are the Regina property restoration specialistsWINMAR IS A TRUSTED REGINA DISASTER SERVICES & REGINA GENERAL CONTRACTOR. In their latest WINMAR Regina Trusted tip, they share information on what water damage does to your home and how they can help! 



Water Damage 

When water damage occurs, immediate action must be taken in order to find the cause, fix the issue, and prevent further damage from occurring. At WINMAR® Regina, our IICRC trained technicians specialize in cleaning up water damage to your home or property. Our team of specialists is equipped with the techniques and equipment to determine the cause and repair the damages properly.

Water damage can occur at any time of the day, any day of the year, which is why WINMAR® Regina is available 24/7 for all types of emergency water damage issues in your home or business.

 

Category 1 Water Damage

Category 1 water sources do not cause an initial health threat. Sources include broken pipes, appliance water line failures, hot water heater ruptures, and broken toilet tanks. If Category 1 water damage is dealt with in the first 24 hours, oftentimes everything can be dried in place and minimal demolition will be required.

Category 2 Water Damage

Category 2 water sources contain some degree of contamination. These sources include appliance overflow, aquariums leaks, waterbed leaks or bursts, and falling rainwater. If Category 1 water damage is left for more than 48 hours, it becomes Category 2 water damage and will require a cleanup process similar to Category 3 water damage.

Category 3 Water Damage

Category 3 water sources always contain pathogenic agents and can be harmful to your health. These water sources include sewer backups, sea and ground surface water, toilet bowl overflows, and sump pump backups. With Category 3 water damage, all items that are contaminated need to be dealt with properly and by professionals to prevent further damage to your home & your health. Many items, including your carpet & drywall, need to be removed & properly disposed of. WINMAR® was one of the first companies to purchase an Esporta Wash system. This system safely & effectively cleans & disinfects your soft contents that have suffered water damage.

 

Our Process At WINMAR® Regina

Each time we work with our customers is an opportunity for our WINMAR® team to show our professional skills and how we really do make a difference.

The first step is always to meet with our customers and go over the scope of the job. We always ask our customers to remove any valuables or sentimental items from the area before we start work.

Next, we want to deal with the things that matter most to you – your belongings. WINMAR® will work with you to carefully pack & move your undamaged contents to a safe place. We will also determine which of your contaminated items can be cleaned & returned to you, and which need to be disposed of. With the help of the Esporta Wash System, we can now save up to 85% of your belongings that were damaged by water.

Next, we will deal with your home. Properly trained technicians will use their equipment to determine which areas of your walls & floor need to be removed. After the demolition is complete, WINMAR® will disinfect the area and set up drying equipment to stabilize the environment. Properly drying the water-damaged areas will prevent future damage from occurring.

Lastly, we want to meet with our customers again. We want to ensure you are happy with the work done and understand the next steps in the process. Remember, WINMAR® is here to help you put things back together too.

Esporta Soft Content Cleaning System

The © Esporta Wash Systems can be used in a number of situations including fire/smoke contamination, sewage contamination, or flood contamination. The © Esporta Wash Systems can handle all of these challenges and more. Shoes, jackets, and even sporting equipment can be rescued. Treasured family items that would have previously been destined for a landfill are now being returned to their rightful place in the family home.

The ES-3300 © Esporta Wash Systems is more than just a washing machine; it is an innovative washing process using a patented system of hydraulic pressure cleaning combined with a specific blend of detergents to effectively disinfect soft contents, personal protective gear, and all types of sports equipment. The machine works on the basis of hydraulic pressure as opposed to the agitation method used by traditional washing machines. All detergents used are hypoallergenic and phosphate-free.

Our certified © Esporta Wash Systems operators select one of the pre-programmed wash recipes depending on the type of items and degree of contamination. Esporta’s patented cleaning process holds items in place while forcing them through the water which has been laden with specialized cleaning and disinfecting agents. This combination of patented technology, recipes, and environmentally-friendly chemistry allows operators to duplicate the results achieved in laboratory studies and successfully clean and disinfect your soft contents.

Over 15 independent laboratories have proven that the © Esporta Wash Systems is more effective than traditional cleaning technologies in laundering soft contents, killing bacteria, and removing both organic and inorganic contaminants, while minimizing the impact on colourfastness, wear life, and optimal brightness retention. 

These independent laboratory reports have verified the following:

  • Organic and inorganic contaminant removal exceeding 99%.
  • Negligible deterioration in the physical properties (colourfastness, wear life, fabric strength, and brightness retention) of the fabrics over repeated washes.
  • Cleaning efficiencies are five times more effective than traditional top loading or front loading washing machines.
  • Negligible fabric shrinkage.
  • Alternative, if not a preferred method of cleaning to dry cleaning.
  • Uses 35% less water on a per-pound basis than traditional washing machines.                                                    Before & After
