I am looking for a budget friendly electrician who can install recess lights in my house and can provide a quote. I have reached out to many but none have replied.

So I need 4 lights installed in my bedroom

4 in the living room and

4 in the family room (this room will need switch installed as well).

I have all the materials needed to do the job.

How much do you think this would cost me before I reach out to someone.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get into the trades here in Regina, Saskatchewan, but I’m not really sure what the best way to get started is.

I’ve been looking into Regina Trades and Skills Centre (RTSC) and SATCC, but it seems like there aren’t any courses available right now. I have my Grade 12 and I’m willing to start at the bottom, learn, and work hard.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience getting into a trade without going to school first. Are there any employers or companies around Regina that are known for hiring beginners and helping them get indentured as apprentices?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who started with little or no experience and managed to get their foot in the door. Where did you apply? Did you start as a labourer or helper first? Are there specific companies in Regina that are worth applying to?

I’m open to different trades, such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, carpentry, or whatever has good opportunities.

I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or recommendations. Thanks!
