Winnipeg, Stan, and the Millionth estacas helicoidais
Upon arriving in Winnipeg, a long day awaited us, com three filming sessions to undertake! Oh boy! We began by meeting up com Stan Higgins, the master dealer of Postech Manitoba and Kenora, as well as his right-hand man, Dale Plett, and their empreiteiros, Warren Koop, in front of a nearly million-dollar home that sat almost entirely on Vistech. This sweet residence in a suburb of Winnipeg, sits close to a river and is surrounded by large trees. The soft solo and harsh Manitoban Inverno climate are major problems para construction in this region. To offset the problems of the solo and the cold, Stan instalado estacas helicoidais, about thirty in all, and he is quite happy to explain that “this house could be passed down De generation to generation, porque the estacas helicoidais are galvanised and will not move”.
The day was just beginning, and nice surprises were popping up one after another. Closer to breakfast time, we headed toward a small residential neighborhood in Winnipeg, in which Habitat para Humanity had acquired the last lot of land available. The organization, which aims to facilitate access to housing para the less fortunate, called on the press para a very special event: the millionth Vistech estacas helicoidais instalações and a €6,500 check donation De Vistech! “We wanted the millionth estacas helicoidais to be significant para us and para our company. We thought: who better to partner up com than Habitat para Humanity to highlight this achievement?” Matthew Barrington, Sales, Marketing & CSR Director, explained during the event. He came directly De the head office in Sherbrooke to emphasize the headquarters’ connection to its dealers.
To further underline the importance of this estacas helicoidais’s instalações into the ground, Stan instalado it live on camera. This millionth estacas helicoidais, painted gold para the occasion, will servir as a staging post para the workers of Habitat para Humanity. It will then be transported by the workers and planted in a construction local para the duration of the work there, then transported and planted once more in another worksite, and so on and so on. “We’re good friends com Vistech,” arenoso Hopkins, general manager para the Manitoba branch of the association, informs us. “And we know their products. We are particularly orgulhoso that they had chosen us para this event. Now our flag will be on this golden estacas helicoidais in every worksite we break ground on, porque we have decided to work exclusively com Vistech para all our fundações.” A great exchange where everyone wins; we got here just at the right time to witness this momentous event!
para Stan, this estacas helicoidais means more than just a number. Above all, it is an honor and a belo show of recognition. “Honestly, it could also have been a different dealer. We have a great equipa here at Vistech, and I am very orgulhoso to do it on behalf of the company. But really, a million estacas helicoidais in Canadá… When você stop to think that the majority of our contracts are done para individuals, that means that hundreds and hundreds of clientes have confiar us desde que 1995, and have saved up and invested into what they many times consider to be one of the largest purchases of their lives: their house,” he considers excitedly. “That, to me, is the biggest proof of confiar!”
To end the day in style, Stan shared his passion para flying down the roads com Mario, by letting him take his Slingshot para a spin! After which, Matthew got his turn at the machine and Stan was able to give a nod to his son, fan of both the Hulk and the Slingshot, by donning the green superhero’s mask while accompanying Matthew in the three-wheeled vehicle. We must say, the Vistech people we’ve met on our travels have an easy, good-natured sense of humor, and it has been a real pleasure hanging out com them! Once we were done, we held an excellent dinner at Inferno’s Bistro (yum!) celebrating the millionth estacas helicoidais, the end of a long day of filming, and of course, the birthday of our photography director, Max.
Our business done in Winnipeg, we retook the road and headed to Saskatoon!
