Victoria Hall
Trusted Admin Assistant
Victoria graduated from Saskatchewan Polytechnic with a Diploma in Computer System Technology in 2014. This was a natural path to take for her as she always had a passion for technology and loved exploring any new program or technology that she could get her hands on. This is what lead her to excelling in Computer Software which she demonstrated by placing second in the 15th Saskatchewan skill competition in the IT-Software Solution for Business Division. When not playing with technology she had a long involvement with he Girl Guides of Canada ( she gets the 25-year pin next year), where she currently works with girls 9-11. When she's not busy with all that she is at home relaxing with cat Ivy. Oh she is also visually impaired but it never slowed her down as you can see.

Testimonials
"Hi, I've just move to Saskatoon and I have bought a fixer-upper home. Having no contacts here I knew here that I would be taking a gamble on which trades people I used, so I'm very happy to have found your website-thank you so much."
Claire, Saskatoon
As a Trusted partner I, of course, go to Trusted first when I am looking for a service or business to meet my needs. In May I moved so the first place I looked for my movers was on Trusted Saskatoon. Two companies came up and I immediately contacted both for quotes along with other companies that were not on Trusted. The two companies on Trusted were the only ones that responded to my request for a quote. They were very similar in what they offered and price so I selected one and my experience was great. The owner of the company was calling the guys during our move to check in and see how things were going, they were on time, the cost was what was quoted and there was not one nick in any walls. I was very satisfied with my experience.
Once we had possession of our house it was clear we needed the carpets cleaned badly. So again I went to Trusted and found Hal at the Carpet Guys. This is the second time I have reached out to Hal through Trusted. He is great. He fit me in, he is fast, and he does a fantastic job. I have recommended him to others several times.
As a Trusted partner it was great to experience it from the other side. I know the process a business goes through to be a Trusted partner, I know the work Sara and her team do to make sure each company can be “Trusted” and that makes the decision of who to call so much easier. If a company is on Trusted I don’t feel the need to ask friends for recommendations or try to find out about other people’s experiences, that work has been done for me. If you are a Trusted partner why wouldn’t you reach out to the other partners for their services and products first? It just makes sense!
