If you prefer to shop from home, we are still offering phone orders and curbside pickup or delivery options.

  • Stores will undergo cleaning on a daily and weekly basis
  • Each store has a traffic limit based on size, and a 6-foot limit in-between customers and front line staff

New Process for Renting
For the safety of our staff and customers, we have implemented a new Rental Procedure at our corporate locations to minimize contact but still allow for a convenient and smooth rental process. Please visit our Rental website here for the new process to follow when renting, as well as what you need to rent from us.



2020-04-06

Now Offering Curbside Service
Despite our buildings being closed to the public, we're still open for business - just in a different way. We call it Curbside Service.

What is Curbside Service? Come to our locations and stay in your vehicle and we will come to you. Our lots are open for viewing and picking up equipment, but our buildings are closed to the public.
How does this work? Call ahead or call the store when you are at the lot, and we will come outside and chat (at the appropriate social distance) and conduct any business that needs to be done curbside in the lot. The health and safety of our staff and our customers are our first priority, which is why these measures are in place. Products are still available to be rented, equipment can be viewed, showcased and picked up. The difference is now you just do it from the convenience of your vehicle. Additionally home product deliveries may be available, call your local store to obtain details for your area. Our stores' contact info and hours can be found here.



2020-03-23

Changes to Store Hours
All Saskatchewan and Manitoba locations will be open from 8 am to 5 pm, Mon-Fri and closed on weekends.

Increased Health and Safety Measures
Our number one concern is the health of our staff, customers and their families. Here are some additional health and safety measures being put in place at our locations:

  • Employees who can work from home are being encouraged to do so, to mitigate any chance of exposure.
  • Employees are being reminded about proper hygiene and hand sanitizer and cleansing wipes are being made readily available in store.
  • We have contacted our cleaners to ensure extra steps are taken so all stores are properly cleaned and disinfected.
  • We implemented a strict self-isolation policy for staff returning from travel, before it was mandated by the government. Any staff returning from another country must self-isolate for 14 days for any symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, fever, difficulty breathing.)
  • Our service teams are being extra vigilant in hand washing and using hand sanitizer when they have direct contact with customers' equipment.

Public Health Notice Regarding COVID-19

We'd like to remind you that some of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of disease are:

  • Washing your hands regularly. Wash your hands after using the restroom, touching your face, eating, drinking, coughing, or sneezing, and at regular intervals throughout the day. Use warm soapy water and wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, or the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. Alternatively, alcohol-based hand sanitizer is effective.
  • Following proper cough and sneeze hygiene. Cover your nose or mouth with a tissue or your elbow — not your hand — and discard the tissue immediately after
  • Staying at home if you are sick.




COVID-19 Federal Assistance Programs

We've collected some helpful links regarding the programs that the federal government has initiated to assist businesses and individuals through the pandemic:

  • The CBC has a great interactive article that collects and sorts the various financial assistance programs from the federal and provincial governments.
  • Other federal government initiatives are here
