Hourly chauffeur service in Regina: YQR, the Legislature, Wascana, the crown corporations and Mosaic Stadium on the Toronto standard

Regina, on the Toronto account

Regina is Saskatchewan's capital and the desk's Toronto accounts' stop for the province's government at the Legislature and the crown corporations that run its power, its telephones, its insurance and its gaming - SaskPower, SaskTel, SGI and SaskGaming, all headquartered downtown or on Wascana - for the potash and oil companies' Regina offices and the Co-op refinery, for the University of Regina, and, for the visitor and the football fan, for the Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium and the RCMP's Depot where every Mountie has trained since 1885. A client who keeps a chauffeur by the hour in Toronto lands at YQR and finds the same thing waiting through the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network's vetted Regina operator: the same three-hour minimum, the same flat rate, the same meet, one invoice. The Canada hub explains the network; the pillar page the hourly product; the Saskatoon page is two and a half hours north on Highway 11.

YQR, and the meet

Regina International in the city's south-west is six kilometres and fifteen minutes from downtown by Regina Avenue and Albert Street - the second-shortest airport run on the network after Saskatoon's - and the local chauffeur meets a Toronto arrival - the direct Air Canada and WestJet flights from Pearson, three and a half hours, or the Calgary connection - at the arrivals hall with the plate and the name, thirty minutes' waiting on a domestic flight included, as the Pearson page describes; YQR's pre-arranged ground-transport curb is the car's place, and the SUV is the default from October for the prairie winter.

The Legislature, Wascana and the government-relations day

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building on Wascana Lake - its dome and its marble, its visitor entrance on Legislative Drive, the ministers' offices and the press gallery - and the departments and the crown corporations in Wascana Centre's and downtown's towers: SaskPower on Victoria Avenue, SaskTel on 1st Avenue, SGI on 11th Avenue, SaskGaming's and the Crown Investments Corporation's offices, the Hill Centre towers and the Mosaic Tower downtown, the banks' and the law firms' offices on Scarth and Hamilton, the potash companies' Regina offices, the Co-op refinery in the north-east, and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the MacKenzie Art Gallery on Wascana's edges: a Toronto client's government-relations day is the as-directed block of six to nine hours with the chauffeur waiting on Legislative Drive or Scarth between meetings, the roadshow page plans a day across the Legislature, the crowns and downtown, and the Legislature's sitting calendar is the desk's planning tool.

Mosaic Stadium, the Riders and the Brandt Centre

Mosaic Stadium at Evraz Place - the Roughriders, the CFL's most-travelled fans, the Labour Day Classic against Winnipeg, the Grey Cup when Regina hosts it - and the Brandt Centre beside it for the Pats and the concerts, the Canadian Western Agribition in November, the Queen City Ex in August: a Toronto account's client night at a Riders game is the Sprinter with the tailgate in the Evraz Place lots and the car positioned on Elphinstone before the final whistle, the sports page's venue-exit rules apply with the province's whole population leaving at once, and an evening booking of four to five hours covers dinner in the Warehouse District or on 13th Avenue and a Pats game.

The RCMP Depot, Wascana and a visitor's day

The RCMP Academy's Depot Division on Dewdney Avenue - the training base since 1885, the Sergeant Major's Parade on weekday afternoons, the Sunset-Retreat Ceremony on summer Tuesdays, the RCMP Heritage Centre beside it - Wascana Centre's twenty-three hundred acres around the lake with the Legislature, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum's T. rex, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Conexus Arts Centre and the Science Centre, the Cathedral district's 13th Avenue shops and the Cathedral Village Arts Festival in May, the Warehouse District's restaurants, Victoria Park and the Globe Theatre downtown, and the Government House of the lieutenant-governor: a six- to eight-hour tourist day in the SUV with the local chauffeur's order - the Depot's parade at 12:45 fixed and the rest built around it - and the car waiting at each; Tourism Regina has the seasons.

The University of Regina, and the hospitals

The University of Regina's campus on Wascana's south-east shore - the residences, the Centre for Kinesiology, the convocations at the Conexus Arts Centre - the First Nations University of Canada beside it, Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Regina campus, and the Regina General Hospital on 14th Avenue and the Pasqua Hospital on Dewdney, with the Allan Blair Cancer Centre at the Pasqua: a Toronto family's move-in in September or convocation in June is the campus routine with the local operator's SUV and Sprinter, and a patient's referral or a family's visits are the medical chauffeur page's product with the local chauffeur waiting at the hospital's entrance.

Moose Jaw, the Qu'Appelle and the road out

Moose Jaw forty-five minutes west on the Trans-Canada - the Tunnels' Al Capone tour, the Temple Gardens mineral spa, 15 Wing's Snowbirds, the giant moose - the Qu'Appelle Valley's lakes an hour north-east with Fort Qu'Appelle, Echo Lake and the Motherwell Homestead, and Saskatoon two and a half hours north on Highway 11: a Toronto client's Moose Jaw spa night or Qu'Appelle weekend is a one-way flat fare each way from YQR in the SUV, the prairie's winter roads - the Trans-Canada's whiteouts west of the city - are the local chauffeur's knowledge, and Saskatchewan's Highway Hotline is the dispatcher's screen.

Where the car waits, in a table

A Regina day, timed (book 8)

9:00 YQR, the sedan, a Toronto utility's vice-president off the 6:45 from Pearson (an hour gained); the meet at arrivals. 9:15 Albert Street; the Hotel Saskatchewan by 9:20. 9:45 SaskPower on Victoria Avenue; the car at the lay-by. 11:30 the Legislature, a minister's office; the car on Legislative Drive. 12:45 lunch at the Hotel Saskatchewan. 2:00 SaskTel on Saskatchewan Drive. 3:15 the Crown Investments Corporation downtown. 4:30 the hotel. 6:00 dinner in the Warehouse District. 7:30 Mosaic Stadium, the Riders under the lights; the car on Elphinstone at the two-minute warning. 10:30 the hotel. Eight hours and a half from the arrivals hall on the Toronto account's invoice, and a client who had never seen a CFL crowd.

The car

The network operator's fleet in the same classes: the Luxury SUV for the business day from October to April, the family and the road out; the Executive Sedan for the summer business day and the YQR run; the Mercedes S-Class for the executive; the Executive Sprinter for the Riders night's tailgate group, the Agribition delegation and the convocation family. Every vehicle has winter tyres from October and a block-heater cord. The fleet page has the Toronto classes and the desk confirms the Regina vehicle on the booking.

What it costs

The Regina operator's class hourly rate times the hours, from three (five for a Sprinter), quoted by the Toronto desk at booking and billed with the Toronto bookings on the account's monthly invoice, plus Saskatchewan's GST and PST and the gratuity you set; no surge, no meter, no tolls. The rates page explains the Toronto number and the corporate accounts page the one-invoice arrangement; a Moose Jaw, Qu'Appelle or Saskatoon one-way is a flat fare the desk quotes.

Booking Regina

A call or an email to the Toronto desk with the flight, the hotel and the days - the travel desk handles the Toronto-Regina-Saskatoon trip - or the booker with Regina as the pick-up city; the desk confirms the local operator, the vehicle and the chauffeur's name the day before, and the plate text arrives at the meet. A government-relations day two days ahead; a Riders game, the Labour Day Classic and Agribition weeks ahead; the Grey Cup, when Regina hosts it, months.
