About Us

Hi there! We’re Prairie Benefits, an award-winning benefits consulting team led by Darcy Stasuik, exclusive Chambers Plan advisor for Regina & area since 1998, Top 100 Advisor 20+ years in a row, and nice guy since 1969. We LOVE helping businesses like yours attract and retain great people with great benefits! As a local business ourselves, we have a real soft spot for this community and our fellow entrepreneurs and their teams. We hope you’ll feel like we’re part of your team, too! Besides, Regina really isn’t that big and you never know when you’ll need a push out of the snow, right? 😉

Along with being your friend with benefits (employee benefits, that is!), we can also help you with health spending accounts and life, critical illness & disability insurance. We love this stuff and promise we won’t put you to sleep!

Our Team

We’re YOUR team, too! 🙂

“I love partnering with businesses to help them attract and retain employees, creating an environment of happy and productive employees and inspiring our team to have a customer-first approach. We’re also blessed to be part of an amazing community and we want to give back!

The people I look up to most were my grandparents. My grandma, at 90, was able to relate to anyone. Whether it was talking about current events or listening to heavy metal music — everyone loved to be with her. My grandpa had a great sense of humor — always teasing his grandchildren. They lived simply and were happy. Simple is good.”

Nikki Jessop

Relationship Manager, Educator, Rainbow

“My favourite quote is ‘It’s nice to be important but more important to be nice!’ You can always count on me to be kind, whether I’m helping you navigate online systems or talking to your employees about their benefits.

Relationship Manager by day and Rainbow the Girl Guide Leader by night, I’m all about making a connection with people, big or small. Answering insurance questions or unsticking gluey fingers, I’m always here to help!”

“I love working with people, getting to know them and hearing about their dreams and goals, as well as their past successes and failures. My role is to provide comprehensive group benefits solutions to businesses. I also help business owners and working professionals manage risk through life, critical illness and disability insurance.

Growing up, hockey was my passion. I remember spending hours at the rink, on my driveway shooting the puck around, and hanging out with my friends playing road hockey. Even though I loved playing hockey I realized at an early age that I probably would never make it to the NHL so my dream was to become a NHL general manager.”

“After a 25-year career in printing, I was ready to learn new things and how could I resist joining such a kind, supportive team and incredible boss? (Darcy added that last part.)

If you’ve got a problem, I’ll do whatever I can to fix it, duct tape or no duct tape! Right up there with helping people, I love family time at the lake, cuddling our new granddaughter, chasing our pups, and baking — usually all at once!”
