Title Virtual Assistant Needed – Research Saskatchewan Public Events, Community Groups & Organizations Job Description We are looking for a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant to build a large prospect database for a Saskatchewan-based event company. The project involves researching communities throughout Saskatchewan, Canada, including small towns, villages, rural municipalities, First Nations communities, and cities, and identifying organizations that host, organize, sponsor, fund, coordinate, or participate in public events. We are not only looking for municipalities or recreation departments. We want to find any organization that is involved in public-facing events of any kind. Examples include: Community associations Recreation boards and departments Municipalities and RMs First Nations and Métis organizations Agricultural societies Fair and rodeo committees Festival committees Chambers of Commerce Tourism organizations Regional parks Community halls Libraries Schools and School Community Councils Daycares and family organizations Sports associations Service clubs such as Lions, Kinsmen, Rotary, Elks, Legions, etc. Churches that host public events Cultural and multicultural organizations Nonprofits and charities Farmers markets Event venues Business associations Local companies that host community or customer events Any other organization regularly involved in public events Types of Events to Research Examples include: Festivals Fairs Rodeos Canada Day celebrations Community days Family days Children's events Fundraisers Markets Concerts Parades Sports tournaments Cultural celebrations Powwows Trade shows Car shows Agricultural events Holiday events Summer programming Grand openings Customer appreciation events Employee or community appreciation events Charity events Outdoor events Public celebrations Community picnics Street dances Recreation programs Any other public event Research Method You will research each Saskatchewan community using Google, Facebook, municipal websites, organization websites, event calendars, social media pages, and other public sources. Searches should include combinations such as: [Community Name] events [Community Name] community events [Community Name] recreation [Community Name] festival [Community Name] fair [Community Name] rodeo [Community Name] agricultural society [Community Name] community association [Community Name] Lions Club [Community Name] tourism [Community Name] Canada Day [Community Name] family events [Community Name] public events [Community Name] summer events For small communities, Facebook is often one of the most important research sources. Important Research Rule Do not stop after finding one organization in a community. One small town may have: A town office Recreation board Agricultural society Lions Club Minor sports association Festival committee Community hall board Library School council Chamber of Commerce Regional park Tourism committee Each should be treated as a separate potential prospect. When you find an event, also research: Who organized it Who sponsored it Which organization funded it Where it was held Which committee operated it Which municipality was involved One event may lead to several potential contacts. Information Required For each prospect, collect as much of the following information as possible: Organization name Community Organization type Contact person's name Contact person's position/title Mailing address City/Town Province Postal code Email address Phone number Website Facebook page Event name, if applicable Approximate event date or month Notes about the organization or event Source URL where the information was found Mailing addresses are particularly important because this database will be used for direct-mail marketing. Quality Expectations We are looking for accurate research, not just a large list of generic town offices. The ideal freelancer will: Research deeply Look beyond the first Google result Use Facebook and social media when appropriate Find smaller volunteer groups and committees Avoid duplicate organizations Verify contact information where possible Clearly document the source of each lead Be comfortable researching small Canadian communities Geographic Scope The goal is to eventually cover most of Saskatchewan, not just the Regina area. This includes: Cities Towns Villages Resort villages Rural municipalities First Nations communities Smaller rural communities Deliverable A clean spreadsheet containing all researched prospects and contact information.

Hi There, I have strong experience in deep web research, lead generation, community/event research, Facebook-based sourcing, and structured Excel/Google Sheets data collection. I can research Saskatchewan community-by-community, going beyond municipal offices to find event committees, agricultural societies, service clubs, First Nations/Métis organizations, schools, tourism groups, nonprofits, parks, halls, and other organizations involved in public events. I’ll capture mailing addresses, contacts, event details, and source URLs, while avoiding duplicates and documenting where each lead came from. I’m comfortable with detailed rural/community research and can start with a sample area first to confirm the research depth and spreadsheet format.

Hello, I’d be happy to build a detailed prospect database of Saskatchewan organizations involved in public events. I have experience in **web research, data entry, web scraping, data collection, Excel, and data cleaning**, with a strong focus on accuracy and organized datasets. I understand this requires more than finding municipal offices. I’ll research community associations, recreation groups, agricultural societies, service clubs, chambers, tourism organizations, schools, libraries, First Nations/Métis organizations, nonprofits, event committees, venues, and local businesses. I’ll use Google, municipal and organization websites, Facebook, event calendars, and other public sources. When I find an event, I’ll also investigate the organizer, sponsor, committee, venue, and related organizations to uncover additional prospects. For each lead, I’ll collect available: * Organization and contact person * Position/title * Mailing address and postal code * Email and phone * Website/Facebook * Event name/date * Notes and source URL I’ll prioritize **accurate contact details, mailing addresses, source verification, and duplicate prevention** rather than simply producing a large generic list. I’m comfortable researching small rural communities and can systematically expand coverage across Saskatchewan. Best regards, Nazim Uddin

Hello, This is an excellent fit for my web research, lead generation, and data collection experience. I can research Saskatchewan communities deeply and identify not only municipalities, but also community groups, agricultural societies, service clubs, event committees, venues, nonprofits, schools, cultural organizations, and other event-active prospects. I’ll use Google, official websites, Facebook, event calendars, and other public sources to find multiple prospects per community, trace events back to organizers/sponsors, verify contact details, remove duplicates, and record the source URL for every lead. The final spreadsheet will be clean, structured, and suitable for direct-mail outreach, with organization details, contact information, event information, and research notes clearly documented. I’m ready to start with a sample community set so you can review the research depth and data quality before scaling across Saskatchewan.

I can handle this as a deep Saskatchewan-wide research project, going beyond municipalities to find associations, clubs, committees, nonprofits, event organizers, venues and other public-event prospects. I’ll verify contact details where possible, remove duplicates, capture mailing addresses and source URLs, and trace events back to the organizations/people involved. I’m willing to do a real brief sample list first (e.g. a few Saskatchewan communities) so you can review the research depth and spreadsheet format before the full project.

Hi there, This is surely a very detailed research project, and I would love to work on it as it falls within my scope and expertise. I do have a few questions, and I look forward to your answers: 1. I have completed a very similar project for the Netherlands in a different niche, and I know how much time these research projects typically take, as most of the work is done manually. Could you please confirm how many leads you are looking for per hour? Please also confirm the total number of leads you are looking for in this project. 2. Since you will be using this spreadsheet for marketing purposes, what exactly are the products and services you are offering to these community groups and organizations? 3. Regarding the categories/columns for the prospects you mentioned, what if we find everything except the phone number? Would it still be counted as a lead? 4. Who exactly is the decision-maker or prospect in your case? Is it someone who organizes these events, or someone who is the head or director of that specific company? 5. I would be available from the 1st of September, would that work for you? We can also use AI, although most of the work will be done manually due to the nature of the project. Feel free to reach out. Happy to provide you with a sample. Thank you.

Hello, As a result of a detailed review of your project requirements, I fully understand that you need **deep prospect research across Saskatchewan**, not simply a scraped list of municipalities or generic business directories. My approach would be community-by-community research using Google, municipal and organization websites, Facebook/social pages, event calendars, and public directories. For every event found, I would research beyond the event itself to identify organizers, sponsors, venues, committees, funding organizations, and other potential prospects. I will structure the master spreadsheet with organization/community, organization type, contact person/title, complete mailing address, postal code, email, phone, website/Facebook, related event/date, notes, and source URL. I will prioritize **mailing-address accuracy**, verify information across sources where possible, and perform duplicate checks before delivery. I can provide an initial sample batch so you can verify my research depth and spreadsheet structure before proceeding across Saskatchewan. I have a couple of quick questions. • How many communities or prospects would you like completed in the first milestone? • Do you have an existing Saskatchewan community list that I should work through, or should I compile that master list as well? I am available to start immediately. Best regards, Carlos

The challenge here isn’t simply finding Saskatchewan organizations—it’s finding the smaller committees, volunteer groups, associations, and event organizers that don’t always appear in the first Google result. A shallow search would leave a lot of valuable prospects out. I can research communities across Saskatchewan systematically, using Google, municipal and organization websites, Facebook pages, event calendars, and other public sources. For each community, I’ll dig beyond the obvious municipality or recreation department and look for agricultural societies, service clubs, sports groups, festival committees, community halls, chambers, schools, nonprofits, cultural organizations, venues, and other groups involved in public events. I’ll also trace events back to the organizations behind them, including organizers, sponsors, committees, and venues, so one event can produce multiple relevant prospects. I’ll record mailing addresses carefully, verify contact details where possible, avoid duplicates, and include the source URL for every lead. I’m comfortable working with large research projects where accuracy and consistency matter more than simply producing a high number of rows. I can start with a sample of Saskatchewan communities so you can review the research quality and spreadsheet structure before scaling up. I’d be happy to discuss the project and get started.
