Happy November! Or should we say happy Movember? You鈥檝e probably guessed it already, but we鈥檙e here today to announce that our November 2022 Charity of the Month is !听

Our team is very excited to be supporting men鈥檚 health through our Charity of the Month program again this year. Last year, we were very proud to be able to donate $5965 to Movember from our November 2021 Charity Day! This is our largest Charity of the Month donation to date and is something we hope to be able to replicate this year as well.听

This upcoming Charity Day, November 24th, 2022, is our second last Charity Day of the year so we want to make it a big one. But, we can鈥檛 do it without your help.听

Keep on reading to learn more about Movember and find out how you can support this incredible cause!

About Movember

Movember by making men鈥檚 health information accessible, changing behaviors for the better, creating health services that work for men, uniting bright minds and passionate advocates, and listening to the community to advocate for men.听

The Movember team focuses on the three biggest health issues that men in our world face: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. By focusing on these three areas, they ensure that their impact is 鈥渟ignificant, far-reaching, and long-lasting.鈥 They share that 鈥渕en鈥檚 health is in crisis,鈥 and highlight that 鈥渕en are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, for largely preventable reasons.鈥澨

About 10.8M men globally have had a prostate cancer diagnosis, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. Beyond this, every minute, a man dies by suicide, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.听

These numbers need to change and that is exactly what Movember is fighting for and what we are proud to be donating to this month. Movember proudly proclaims that they are 鈥渄oing what others can鈥檛,鈥 by 鈥淸uniting] experts from around the world to collaborate on projects that will fundamentally change the way men in need are treated and supported.鈥

We are honored to have the opportunity to support men worldwide by fighting for more accessible, more effective men鈥檚 health initiatives.听

Tomorrow is Charity Day

Wow 鈥 another month has passed. It鈥檚 been a long, hot month, and we鈥檙e very excited to be celebrating our August Charity Day tomorrow!听

Each month, our team comes together on the last Thursday of each month to donate to a local charity. Community investments are incredibly important to the 缅北禁地 Group and each member of it. We love and feel so fulfilled by the opportunity to support and give back to our community each month by supporting a different local charity.听

5% of all sales made by all of our home service brands on the last Thursday of August will go to Tools for School! If you have been thinking about investing in a premium home service or product through any of our brands, tomorrow鈥檚 the day to do it. By approving your quote tomorrow, you鈥檒l be donating 5% of your purchase straight to this local initiative.听

We post a new blog post each month that highlights our charity of the month. If you haven鈥檛 had the chance to read through them, we definitely suggest taking a peek when you have a chance!

About Tools for School

Tools for School is an organization that facilitates the gathering, purchasing, and distribution of school supplies for children in the Alberta Capital Region.

鈥淯nited Way鈥檚 Tools for School aims to reduce one known barrier preventing children and youth from successful learning and participation in school. Through support of community donors and corporate sponsors, we continue to meet the needs of children and youth in our community.鈥

The need for school supplies and backpacks is as many as 1 in every 10 students. Tools for School essentially makes sure that children have access to supplies and, therefore, equal opportunity in their education.听

Most schools in the Alberta Capital Region participate in the Tools for School program, making it easy for parents and guardians to access the supplies and backpacks for their children. Essentially, if your child is in need of school supplies, you simply have to let your school know that your child needs a Tools for School backpack.听

If your school is not yet a part of the program, they simply have to send an email to inkind@myunitedway.ca to become a part of it. Feel free to encourage them to do so if your child is in need.听

Both donations of school supplies and backpacks and monetary donations are accepted and help to bring supplies to children in need. Supplies themselves must be new or unused and must not have company logos on them (to ensure that children cannot be identified as part of this program).

For more information on high needs items and approved supply lists, please visit the .听

Supporting Children’s听Educations

In 2021 alone, Tools for School distributed 12,589 backpacks and kits to children in need, volunteers gave 450 hours to packing backpacks, and Staples stores in the Alberta Capital Region raised more than $119,000 in support.听

This year, the demand and need for backpacks, kits, and school supplies is higher than ever. By mid-August, Tools for School had already seen a for school supplies. From the hostility of the current economic climate to the many newcomers settling in the Alberta Capital Region, Tools for School is in need of a lot of support this year.听

On average, each school backpack costs about $42.00 to fill. Not every child is able to start school in an equal position to their peers because their family cannot afford school supplies.听

However, the money that you are able to help us donate can and will go a long way for this initiative and for these struggling families and children. Each child in our community deserves equal opportunity and equal access to education. We are very honored to be able to help with that and can鈥檛 wait to see our group of companies and our customer-base rally to do so.听

Thank you for continuing to support us and, therefore, our community. We鈥檒l see you next month for our next Charity Day!

The 缅北禁地 Group of Companies has some huge news to share! We鈥檝e hit an exciting milestone and can鈥檛 wait to celebrate with you, our valued customers.听

In case you didn鈥檛 know, our goal here at the 缅北禁地 Group of Companies is to become Canada鈥檚 largest home improvement franchise network. Last week, we got one step closer to that goal and achieved something big 鈥 we officially sold our third franchise!听

As we continue to build franchisable, business-in-a-box solutions for entrepreneurs in the home services industry, we look forward to providing mentorship and support for our franchisees. By doing so, we鈥檙e not only able to help these entrepreneurs, but we鈥檙e also able to help bring premium home services to other communities.听

Selling our third franchise this past week was a thought-provoking experience. Our team sat back and reflected on where we started a mere 7 years ago. Our lofty dream of becoming Canada鈥檚 largest home improvement franchise network seemed much further away seven years ago than it does now.听

Hitting the big number 3 motivated and inspired our team to do more while also reminding us to be thankful for how far we鈥檝e come in the past few years.听

Let鈥檚 take a quick walk down memory lane.听

Franchise #1 – Five Star Holiday D茅cor Leduc

Mike Stone, our first franchisee, with Dallin Taylor.

Our very first franchise was sold back in October of 2021, not even a year ago. We were able to bring to Leduc and area when we sold a franchise to Mike Stone. With a very short, busy season, Five Star Holiday D茅cor is an incredibly profitable seasonal franchise.听

Mike has been an amazing franchisee, and has had the pleasure of lighting up Leduc for the past 2 seasons. With mentorship from the 缅北禁地 Leadership Team, Mike has developed a successful business and lit up many homes in Leduc and area.听

Franchise #2 – Screen Savers Plus North Calgary

Tyler Scott, our second franchisee, who took Screen Savers Plus to north Calgary.

After selling our first franchise in fall of last year, our team was even more motivated than ever to expand our franchisable businesses and work with more driven entrepreneurs. Despite the plethora of challenges that came our way throughout 2022, our team pushed on.听

Earlier this summer, we sold our first Screen Savers Plus franchise to Tyler Scott! Tyler, a former screen technician here at , wanted to take the next step in his career. Looking for power over his own schedule, a fresh start, and an opportunity to grow a successful business, Tyler came to the 缅北禁地 Leadership Team expressing his interest.听

On June 1st, 2022, opened in the North side of Calgary as a mobile screen service. Tyler was able to take control of his time as a business owner and start a new chapter of his life down south.听

Although Tyler has only been servicing Calgary for a few months now, he has brought in twenty six five star Google reviews so far! That鈥檚 a lot of happy customers.听

Franchise #3 – Screen Savers Plus South Calgary

Max Fernandez, our third franchisee!

This August, we officially hit the milestone of three franchises! Max Fernandez, a Calgary based entrepreneur, decided to take the step and bring Screen Savers Plus to the southern region of Calgary.听

With high demand in the Calgary area, Max expressed his interest in expanding the brand in the wonderful city and can鈥檛 wait to help even more customers Bring in the Breeze. After officially opening on August 15th, Screen Savers Plus south Calgary is ready to rumble!

Max has a passion for bringing premium products and services to those in his community and is already looking forward to what the Screen Savers Plus business will help him do.听

“I decided to join the 缅北禁地 team because I saw a tremendous opportunity to bring value to the homeowner. The 缅北禁地 team has positively affected the community and I’m looking forward to being a part of this impactful initiative,” Max shared.

Where We鈥檙e Going From Here

That brings us to the present day. Thanks for walking with us down memory lane!听

So, what鈥檚 next?听

Achieving the milestone of three franchises simply fanned the fire for the 缅北禁地 team. We can鈥檛 wait for three to turn into 33 and then 103 and then 3003. In fact, we鈥檙e working towards these next milestones each and every day.听

Each day, the 缅北禁地 team will continue to perfect and flush out our business processes and procedures. Every day, we鈥檒l get closer to our goal of being Canada鈥檚 largest home improvement franchise network. Each day, we鈥檒l work to find entrepreneurs who want to be able to run a profitable business from day one.听

Every day, we鈥檒l continue to expand our brands, excellent customer service, and premium solutions across Alberta, Western Canada, and beyond. Our goal may be lofty but we will achieve it.听

The passion that we have for the home services industry and for providing premium solutions to our customers cannot be hampered. To read more about why the home services industry is right for us and why we鈥檙e passionate about it, feel free to check out our blog.听

We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You

At the end of the day, we couldn鈥檛 have done any of this without you, our valued customers. So thank you for all your support that you鈥檝e shown us in the past and thank you for the support that you鈥檒l continue to show us.听

And remember, no matter how many franchises we sell, we鈥檒l always be large enough to serve you but small enough to know you.听

There is no one better to celebrate with than the people who have made our successes possible: you! Thank you for supporting local, choosing us and our companies again and again, and for just being great.听

Now let鈥檚 do some celebrating!

Wins to Celebrate听

1. Hosted our first company BBQ in over 2 years

Our company BBQs give us the chance to connect with our team members and cultivate company culture.

Company culture is incredibly important to us here at Mosaic. We don鈥檛 employ people, we add people to our team. We don鈥檛 just provide a job, we provide a career. Throughout the years, maintaining solid relationships with everyone on our team has always been a top priority for us.听

At the end of the day, our company and the companies that are a part of our group are all made up of people. Business isn鈥檛 business without people.听

The social restrictions and challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic brought about were very difficult for numerous reasons. However, one of the things we struggled with the most was not being able to cultivate company culture through our usual efforts.听

Prior to the pandemic, we regularly hosted company events including summer BBQs to provide our team members the opportunity to get to know one another. These BBQs were a no-work zone where games were played, discussions were had, and friendships were formed.听

After almost 2 years of not being able to host these events, we were finally able to bring them back in April of this year! We had so much fun eating with, chatting with, and hanging out with our team members, old and new.

However, bringing back our company BBQs represented so much more than just a BBQ. It represented our dedication to creating a positive, connected team. We鈥檙e so excited for future opportunities to continue doing this!听

2. Donated $17,530.19 to local charities

We have had the chance to continue with our Community Investments this year.

We鈥檙e sure you鈥檙e very familiar with our Charity of the Month program by now. This program was started in 2020 as a way to give back to the community that continues to support us. As a local company, we love supporting other local businesses.听

Nothing we do would be possible without our community. Therefore, giving back to the community is something that is very important to us.听

Since January of 2022, we have had the absolute honor of donating $17,530.19 to the following local charities and organizations:听

Not only have we had these 6 opportunities to give back to our community, but, as restrictions lifted, we were also able to see where our money was going. Donating is amazing but being able to meet the people we are supporting and chat with them about the initiatives we were contributing to was heartwarming to say the least.听

As we continue our Charity of the Month program, we hope to be able to constantly increase the donations that we make to our community. If you have a suggestion of a charity that we can work with, let us know on this page!

3. Expanded our Leadership, Marketing, and Customer Success Teams听

As the 缅北禁地 Group of Companies continued to expand through the first half of this year, we also expanded our teams.听

We added knowledgeable, hard working team members to our in-house Marketing Team, our Customer Success Team, and our Leadership Team so far this year! Hiring new team members to join these three essential teams has helped us to better serve each one of our amazing customers.听

New Leadership Role

Our new Cultivator of Brand Success, Ghaida Daher!

Ghaida Daher, who originally started with the Miraculous Maids team, stepped up into a new leadership role. As the Cultivator of Brand Success, Ghaida has worked tirelessly with the Brand Managers for each of our seven home improvement companies.

We are so thankful for Ghaida stepping up into this new leadership role and helping each brand to improve. She is passionate about the teams succeeding and providing the best possible home services to our valued customers.

Additions to Our Marketing Team听

This year, we鈥檝e also made two new additions to our in-house marketing team. This team handles all of the marketing efforts for all eight brands. The Marketing Team, led by the amazing Kanishk Chadha, has successfully increased our lead generation significantly this year, helping each brand to succeed.听

Our new Copywriter & Marketing Communications Specialist, Emma Dietze.

Emma Dietze, (that鈥檚 me!) our Copywriter & Marketing Communications Specialist joined 缅北禁地鈥檚 Marketing Team in January of 2022. I have had the pleasure of word-smithing my way through the past 6 months, working on all kinds of marketing projects to improve the awareness of and conversion within the brands.听

Kaylee Yawney, a more recent addition to the team, has taken on the role of Social Media Manager & Content Creator. She has brought a level of uniqueness to our social media accounts and connects with our audience on another level.听

New Customer Success Team Members

Our Customer Success Team is our main point of contact with you, our valued customers. If you鈥檝e ever called any of our brands, you would have spoken with one of our amazing Customer Success Representatives.听

This year, we have had Megan Sawchuk, Sami Saragoca, and Alyssa Gueco join our Customer Success Team! These ladies have been amazing in their roles, helping to provide the highest level of customer service possible.听

Throughout the day, these team members, alongside the wonderful Sarah Mercier and our amazing Customer Success Manager, Tyler Jonah, work to create the best customer experience for you.听

Tyler Jonah just recently stepped up into the role of Customer Success Manager. He has successfully led this team to answer more calls and provide a higher conversion rate on sales than ever before.听

These team members take calls, create quotes, respond to emails, answer questions, book jobs, and more. We truly couldn鈥檛 do what we do without them! Make sure to tell them thanks for all they do next time you chat with them on the phones.听

4. Sold a Screen Savers Plus franchise to Tyler Scott & mentored him

Tyler Scott, our franchisee for Screen Savers Plus Calgary!

This win was a really big one for the 缅北禁地 Group of Companies. In case you didn鈥檛 know, our goal is to become Canada鈥檚 largest home improvement franchise network.听

We took a big step towards that goal this year. On June 1st, 2022, Tyler Scott, our franchisee, officially opened the first franchise location of Screen Savers Plus in Calgary, Alberta! If you want to read more about Tyler and his journey with this franchise, feel free to .听

As Tyler took this step in his own entrepreneurial journey, we had the pleasure of mentoring him and coaching him. With business experience under their belts, our knowledgeable leadership team worked with Tyler to provide him the resources and support he needed.听

Watching someone who started as a screen technician for Screen Savers Plus Edmonton buy a franchise and take this profitable business model to Calgary has been incredibly fulfilling for our team.听

If you know of anyone in Calgary who is looking for a great screen company, make sure to send them way!听

5. Watched the companies in our group succeed

Our entire Group of Companies has achieved great things so far this year!

Last, but certainly not least, we want to take some time to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our seven brands!听

As a parent company with seven home improvement brands under our umbrella, we see lots of challenges. However, watching our brand succeed and improve and grow this year so far has been amazing.听

Wow 鈥 2022 is officially halfway over. This year has sure moved fast so far. June coming to an end means that it鈥檚 time for our June Charity Day!听

We鈥檝e had quite a rainy June so far with sunny days sprinkled throughout. This has definitely been a challenge for our company, however, our team is more motivated than ever to make this Charity Day a big one because of it.听

We鈥檙e very excited and honored to announce that for June 2022, our Charity of the Month is ! That means that 5% of the sales from all of our home service companies on June 30th, 2022, will go directly to Youth Hubs Alberta to support their incredible initiatives.听

Why We Chose Youth Hubs Alberta

Mental health is of the utmost importance to the team here at Mosaic. Over the past few years, mental health support and resources have become more important than ever.听

While we continue to support the community that continues to support us with our Charity of the Month Program, we want to support initiatives that make important differences for the people in our community.听

As a local, family-run, family-oriented Group of Companies, the mental and physical wellbeing of youth and young adults is very close to home for us. By choosing to support Youth Hubs Alberta, we are choosing to help provide proper support, resources, and programs for our children and grandchildren and the youth and young adults around them.听

What Now?听

Choosing to support local charities that are meaningful to our team is something that we never see stopping. Through our Charity of the Month program, we鈥檒l continue to do Charity Day each and every month.听

Each month, our team works incredibly hard to raise money for these inspirational, extraordinary local charities. The office comes to life (even more so than usual) and the team enthusiastically cheers one another on, celebrating each sale from dawn 鈥榯il dusk.听

If you are looking for premium home services in Edmonton and the surrounding areas, we highly encourage you to purchase through one of our brands tomorrow, June 30th, 2022, in order to support Youth Hubs Alberta.听

If you are unable to contribute this month, we totally understand. Following the local company on social media or amplifying our Charity Day to friends and family on your own social media pages can still make a huge difference.听

Make sure to keep an eye out on our social media and website for updates about future Charity Days. Additionally, if there is a local charity that you would love to see additional support and a donation for, please fill out the form and suggest a charity.听

And just like that鈥 May is almost behind us. You know what that means 鈥 tomorrow is Charity Day! After one of our largest Charity Day donations yet last month for the Aspen Dog Services Organization, we鈥檙e feeling super enthusiastic about tomorrow.听

Why Do We Do Community Investments?

Before we chat about where our donation will be going this month, let鈥檚 talk about community investments as a whole. Here at The 缅北禁地 Group of Companies, community investments are incredibly important to us. At the end of the day, we wouldn鈥檛 be where we are without the community around us.听

We started our Charity Day program and community investments just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. However, we knew that this was something we were not willing to forget, even with the hardship and struggles we were facing.听

Why? Because without people in our community choosing our home service brands, choosing our teams, and recommending us to their connections, we wouldn鈥檛 have been able to make it through at all. Each and every year, people in Edmonton and the surrounding areas, and people in the communities of our franchise locations continue to choose us for their home improvement and home maintenance needs.听

Yes, our businesses faced challenges, however, we knew that our communities were facing them too. And, through it all, they continued to support us throughout them.听

The differences that we have been able to make in our communities have been beyond inspiring and heartwarming. We鈥檙e so grateful for the amazing charities and organizations that we鈥檝e had the pleasure of working with over the past 2 years and cannot wait to see where our Charity of the Month program goes in the future as well.

Tomorrow, May 25th, we will be donating 5% of the sales from all of our companies to鈥 The Grit Program!

Community investments are a top priority for us here at Mosaic.

What鈥檚 The Grit Program All About?

organization that works alongside families and community partners to strengthen the skills and confidence needed to support every child鈥檚 learning and development.听

Since 1982, we鈥檝e helped hundreds of children who have developmental disabilities become meaningful participants in their families, communities, and schools.鈥

The GRIT Program is about Getting Ready for Inclusion Today and that is exactly what they stand for. Their mission is to 鈥榌provide] family centred and inclusive learning experiences to support meaningful participation of children with disabilities in home, community, and school.鈥櫶

GRIT believes that children and families of children with developmental and other disabilities deserve to have the same joyous childhood experiences that other children and their families have. They work towards this by providing support, aid, and programs in communities, classrooms, homes, families, and beyond.听

To learn more, check out this video from The GRIT Program:

The GRIT Program

Why The Grit Program?听

As a family run business, family is very important to us here at Mosaic. We are involved in our team members鈥 lives and aim to provide value to and support the children and families of our team members.听

We strongly believe that each child and family deserves to feel included and supported in the communities, schools, and homes that they are in. When we heard that GRIT was celebrating their 40th Anniversary, we knew that we wanted to support them with our May Charity Day and provide them with a donation to go towards their cause.听

Our goal in supporting them is to contribute to a community that is more inclusive of and more supportive to families and children with developmental and other disabilities. The GRIT Program is an incredible organization and we鈥檙e thrilled to be able to support them this month. But, we can鈥檛 do it without your help tomorrow!听

Want to Suggest a Charity?听

We are always taking new suggestions for charities and organizations that we can support in the coming months. We have no plans of stopping our Charity of the Month program or community investments in the future and would love to hear about any other parts of our community that we can contribute to.听

If you鈥檇 like to recommend a charity or organization here in Edmonton and the surrounding areas, please feel free to contact our team by filling out the form on our Community Investments page.

Thank you for reading and happy (almost) Charity Day! Let鈥檚 make it a big one and give as big a donation as we can do The GRIT Program!听
