We Love Our Community

Here’s How We’re Giving Back

Growing up in Regina, we are very fortunate for the community we have around us. We believe that if you’ve been given a gift, the only way to keep it is to pass it on.

Partners in Gentle Teaching

StratLab believes strongly in the principles laid forth in Dr. John McGee’s “Gentle Teaching” philosophy, and we have had the privilege of working with many organizations that share our commitment to care.

Habitat for Humanity Golf Tournament

We’ve been working with the amazing folks at Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan for a couple of years now. When they told us about their fundraiser, a golf tournament, we were an automatic YES! A fun day on the greens supporting a great cause! See you next year Habitat!

The Gift of Giving Gala 2025

What a night! The Gift of Giving Gala, in its second year, put on a show unlike anything we’ve been part of. Several different photo booths, a caricature guy, interactive booths, and entertainment comparable to Cirque du Soleil. These folks have created an immersive experience wrapped in a fundraiser for a great cause. Can’t wait to see what they pull off next year!

The Caring Conference 2025

We wanted to bring Non-profits in our city together for a day of celebration, learning, and inspiration. We started the day out without any sponsors, but by the end of the day, WESK hopped on board.

If you came, thank you. It means the world to us that you supported our event. We appreciate you!

It was stories from those we look up to, panels of experts, a delicious lunch, some games, a few booths to check out, and inspiration served hourly. We’re already planning the Caring Conference 2026, and hope you can make it!

Regina Trappers Men’s National Championship 2025

When the Regina Trappers told us they were hosting the National Championship in Regina, we had to be involved. We built and managed the website and made some posters. Now, they end up winning the bronze medal, so that’s something to brag about!! Next year you’ll get ’em, Trappers!!

Hope’s and Dreams Campaign

hopes and dreams

We’re proud to sponsor the Hopes & Dreams campaign website, a community-powered initiative by the North Central Family Centre that’s raising funds to transform local supports in Regina’s North Central neighbourhood. The campaign focuses on building Orange Buffalo Lodge (affordable, supportive housing), creating a vibrant community hub, and renewing the existing centre into a dedicated space for children, youth, and families. Through this work, Hopes & Dreams helps turn hope into opportunity and builds lasting pathways to stability and belonging for our neighbours.

Black Donors Save Lives

Black Donors Save Lives Website

We’re honoured to support Black Donors Save Lives, a national nonprofit working to address racial disparities in blood, stem cell, organ, and tissue donation and ensure Black patients have equitable access to lifesaving matches. Led by the inspiring Sylvia Okonofua, the organization combines community engagement, education, and advocacy to build trust, increase donor representation, and empower Black communities across Canada. It’s a powerful mission rooted in justice, care, and changing lives — and we’re proud to be part of the journey.

YMCA Music for the Mind Fundraiser

It’s programs like this that help our community in ways we can’t even measure. When we talk to the YMCA about what the program was and who it was for, we were on board to tell the story.

What an amazing program. We couldn’t be happier to be part of the story that the YMCA is creating.

You folks are an inspiration.

OneHoop Charty Golf Tournament 2025

When OneHoop needs help with something, we offer our services. When they were planning the 2025 charity golf tournament, we had to be involved in some way. A fun day for everyone out at Deer Valley golf course. This tournament supports such a great cause in our community, we’ll be back next year to sponsor it again!

Build Love

Build Love Team 2019

We were a part of the inaugural year of Build Love, the idea that started a goodwill movement in Regina. With hundreds of volunteers putting into thousands of hours, this project really was the Regina community coming together to help a family in need. This year we’ve selected a very deserving family to help and the project is well under way. Checkout the progress here: Build Love: Year Two

Pride Week

Queen City Pride 2017

We proudly support Queen City Pride week in Regina. For the past 6 years we’ve been supporting Queen City Pride. This past year we showcased the pride parade event with this awesome video! Find out what we’ve done over the years here: Six Years Ago We Fell In Love 

The Honest Conference

Hon con 2017

An event to showcase people in our community who are doing something inspiring!

Big Idea Camp

In 2015 with the help of Jordan McFarlen we started Big Idea Camp a business camp for highschool students. It’s now into it’s Fourth year! Big Idea Camp 3.0 saw 16 students and many community partners making it the best year yet. We even offered a job to one lucky Big Idea Camper. Misha (AKA the Mish Kebab!) is still working with Strategy Lab and is more enthusiastic than ever!

We can hardly wait for Big Idea Camp 4.0!

Uplifting T-Shirts.ca

Jeph teaches Admin 224 (Entrepreneurship) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. The class project was to start a company that actually created a product and sold it for a profit. The class chose social enterprise (donating the profit back to a Non-profit) and we ended up selling 60 t-shirts in 7 days and donating $1,000 to Carmichael Outreach in Regina. Then in 2016 we were interviewed on CBC for the “Free Hugs” campaign we did!

Mismatched Mittens

This years class project was to start a company that sold “MisMatched Mittens”. We again went with social enterprise and we ended up selling 89 pairs of mitts in 3 weeks and donating $885 to the Redcross #ImagineNoBullying Campaign in Regina. We also got a little press in the LeaderPost for MisMatched Mitten.
