#RedDeerStrong – Wondering what to do with that travel credit? Plan your future trip now!
What does your business do?
We help make dream vacations come true….We are a team of professional travel consultants that are there for their clients during the good and the bad.
We are also huge supporters of our local community with giving back in so many areas.
Our office is locally owned and operated and has been a part of our great city for 13 years and will be here for years to come, due to the support of our local community.
We wouldn’t be anywhere without them.
How has COVID-19 affected you?
We are in travel so we are now just busy cancelling dream trips and making sure that we do whatever we can for our clients.
What are you doing to adapt?
All of our team are now home based and working with their clients from their home.
We are staying in contact with each other as a team at least 2 a week, basically because we miss seeing each other. As well, we need to stay on top of the latest developments so we can keep our clients informed.
Myself and Jordana are going to the office daily to keep in touch with our team and to be there for any of our clients that call and need assistance.
What kind of help do you need?
We need to have our community know that we are still open and doing business.
Some people that we talk to are ready to start making plans for next year and 2022 and we can help them with that. If they have any type of travel credits and they booked on their own and want to deal with a local agency, we would love to hear from them.
We are also making plans for a recovery and for a new rebranding to Expedia Cruise (Sea, Land, Air Vacations) and want and need our community to know we are here for them from the beginning of their vacation planning to the minute they reach their doorstep from their dream trip
What do you want the community to know?
We would love our community to know that we are alive and well.
Our business is just more than cruises and we can help them with all of their travel plans.
That our community is important to us and that now more than ever it is so important to support our local business community.
We are not going anywhere and we are waiting for better times ahead.

We’ve received a donation of use of a Dodge Caravan from Southside Dodge- they’ve been an incredible support of us over the years. Attached is the photo we took at the dealership when we picked up the keys on Friday.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta, Red Deer House is truly grateful to Matt Swainson and his entire team at Southside Dodge for their steadfast support of our work to keep families together during the unimaginable hardship of the need to travel for medical treatment for their sick or injured child. Our House is not a nice to have, but a need to have, and we are honoured to work with such an amazing community partner in Southside. The use of the 2021 Dodge Caravan will help us to keep our operating costs down so that we can focus on our work to keep families close.
We have operated in the city for over 8 years, ensuring there is a safe and comfortable place for families to rest while they focus on the recovery of their child(ren).
We are grateful to everyone in Red Deer who supports us! 😊

Smiles Thru Lindsey reaching out with a new video message and urging Albertans to look out for each other at this challenging time
The holiday season is well behind us, we’re heading into the coldest part of the winter, and although the days are starting to grow longer there’s still a definite lack of daylight in our lives. The winter blues are a real thing and this year we have COVID, a whole new serious problem to add to our mental health issues.
COVID is also the reason the Smiles Thru Lindsey team has not been able do public events for many months. Unable to reach out physically through school visits and fund raisers, Smiles Thru Lindsey is reminding Central Albertans to check in on each other. Also, please follow the Smiles Thru Lindsey Facebook page . They’ll lead you to the resources you or your loved ones need right away.
Meet Lindsey and the Smiles Thru Lindsey team in this powerful video. …And remember to check in on the people in your life.
If you’d like to help Smiles Thru Lindsey with a donation please click here.
