We are pleased to celebrate Reed Security who has been a TRUSTED Saskatoon partner for over 10 years!

Reed Security was founded in March of 2000 when Virgil was just 26 years of age! It was tough in the early years competing with the large national companies and local competitors, but he saw there was a gap in the Saskatoon market, and seized the opportunity. Today Reed Security has become the largest independent security provider in Saskatchewan and one of the largest in western Canada!! 


Starting from humble beginnings from an office in his basement, Virgil Reed, the local founder, and CEO worked tirelessly to provide customers with amazing service, better technology, and unparalleled long-term relationships as his vision for growth. When you become a Reed Security client you will be entering into a relationship, one they want to grow and nurture and become long term. That is why Virgil, and his entire team, live and breathe his company’s motto 


“We’re Local. We Care.” 


Year after year for over 20 years, a good portion of their business comes from word of mouth and referrals, and each client receives the best care and attention possible. When we presented Virgil with his 10 Year Trusted Saskatoon Award we asked him about the values of Reed Security, what he teaches his team and what separates them from other companies in this industry. He pointed to the wall in his entrance area. It is there for customers and visitors to see and it greets every staff member that walks through those front doors every day. They live, eat, breathe Excellence, Integrity, Accountability, Teamwork in all they do, but most important to Virgil and the team at Reed, is the Customer Experience and making sure at the end of the day, they are happy!


“I have known Virgil Reed since 2007, and have always been impressed with his business acumen, leadership, drive and passion to be the best at everything he takes on. I have had a Reed System in my home for over 10 years, and in an industry that is known all too well for the high pressure doorstep sales tactics, Reed stands apart as a local company with a strong foundation of integrity and solid values. I trust Virgil and his team to protect me and my family and you can too!"
- Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder    


We guarantee when you choose Reed Security as your security partner, you will receive innovative and reliable solutions at an affordable price from a local family-owned business that cares!

Decora Homes a Trusted Saskatoon Custom Home Builder and Renovation Company For Over 10 Years

TRUSTED SASKATOON RECOGNIZES OUR 10 YEAR TRUSTED SASKATOON PARTNERS!

In this series of articles, we are shining a spotlight on the businesses that have been with us since we launched in 2011. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are recognizing each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the public of Saskatoon and surrounding areas! In this article, we celebrate and recognize Ricky and Rhonda Iula, and Dustin Grenier of Decora Homes, a Trusted Saskatoon Custom Home Builder and Renovation Specialist.


We are pleased to celebrate Decora Homes who have been a TRUSTED Saskatoon partner for over 10 years!

It was back in 2006 that Ricky and Rhonda Iula were at a point in their careers where they wanted a change, to start a business where they could be their own boss, something where they could help others, and make a positive difference in the building industry in Saskatoon. Since then, Rhonda and Ricky and their team at Decora Homes have specialized in building exceptional homes and top-quality renovations to meet clients' exact requirements. They had no idea that their vision and mission would have taken off and been so successful. So successful and busy in fact that about 5 years later they partnered with Dustin Grenier who was himself a successful homebuilder. What started as a team of two has now grown to a team of seven, each with their own roles and duties, that help this well-oiled machine build a quality product with customer satisfaction in mind. Rhonda runs the day-to-day and can usually be found meeting with clients and helping them envision their dream or buried in paperwork at home or the office. Ricky is most likely to be found on the job site taking care of the build or renovation project making sure nothing everything runs smoothly. Dustin as well keeps a close eye on every project and is a partner that is more comfortable behind the scenes and taking good care of their projects. At the office, they have dedicated designers and decorators to make sure all the finishing touches are taken care of from start to finish.

At Decora Homes, they believe in keeping their customers up to date during their build or renovation and that is why they have incorporated a 24/7 online program in which the client can log in and view the schedule, photos, list of products chosen, and approve/change orders at their convenience. Decora Homes sources products and fixtures from all over the world and provides their professional and dedicated team of full-time staff to assist you in planning your dream and picking out those finishing products during the construction, along with a full-time service representative for you to contact after you have taken possession of your new home. This is their post-build concierge service, making sure you receive exactly what you had dreamed of and envisioned. 

Over the last 14 years, Decora has completed many amazing projects around Saskatoon and the area. One custom home they are most proud of is in Greenbryre Estates where they have built many unique homes. This gorgeous home had a truly unique design, with its copper roof and unique custom floor plan. The clients brought their wish list and Decora was able to turn their wish and dream into reality, as It turned out to be a fantastic family home. Although the Decora Homes team is best known for building custom homes for clients, they have really seen an increase in the renovation side of the business, both residential and commercial. This also keeps them very busy all year long.

" Ricky, Rhonda and the Decora team are integrity-driven, and they are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Their commitment to quality and innovation is obvious to all that work with them and their projects are amongst the most impressive I have ever seen! Decora is an asset to our community and I am proud to promote them." - Sara Wheelwright- Trusted Founder   

In speaking with Rhonda, she and Ricky and their team are most proud of the amazing support they’ve had from the citizens of Saskatoon and everyone in the building community. The opportunity to design and build a few of the latest Hospital Home Lottery homes, which have had amazing reviews from the public, has been a blessing and a great way to give back. As well, they are so humbled that they’ve been fortunate to have partnered with Haven Kids’ House for many years, and have not only done extensive renovations for them along with an outdoor playground but continually support them every year as their charity of choice. Decora Homes have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthy causes over the years through charity golf tournaments, donations, or giving of their time and building expertise.

All the hard work and dedication by the team at Decora Homes has definitely not gone unnoticed. They are proud to be recognized by their peers, by the building community, and the citizens of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and beyond. Over the years they have won numerous awards, probably too many to count. From multiple SABEX Awards, Home Builder of the Year Awards, Interior Decorating Awards, Marketing Awards, and so on. But, in talking to Rhonda, the biggest award is the relationships and friendships they have gained over the years. Their clients have become lifelong friends, like family, and what better award is there than that!

Thank you for TRUSTING us, Ricky, Rhonda, Dustin, and your team, and thank you for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the citizens of Saskatoon! In the last 10 years, they continue to be one of the finest home builders and renovators in Saskatchewan and have always upheld our 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES of service for their 10 YEARS as Trusted Saskatoon Partners.

Trusted Saskatoon Group Benefits Advisors at Wiegers Financial & Benefits Explain Employee Wellness Programs

Wiegers Financial & Benefits is one of the largest private financial planning and employee benefits consulting firms in Saskatchewan. Its Saskatoon Financial Planning Division provides business owners, households, retirees, and students with expert investment and insurance planning services to help them reach their long-term financial goals. They also have a Benefits and Personal Insurance planning division. In this latest Wiegers Group Benefits tip, they explain flex benefits for employee wellness. Wiegers Financial & Benefits are Trusted Saskatoon Insurance and Group Benefits experts.

 

The Future is Flexible: Flex Benefits for Employee Wellness

A proper employee benefits program is a quintessential tool in helping to ensure employee health and well-being. As long as your employees utilize the program, it can help keep them healthy, happy, and focused at work. However, with the changing generations in the workforce – and the fact that millennials now comprise a majority of it – standard employee benefit programs need to change as well.

Younger staff are looking for flexible, digital offerings that let them get what they want out of a plan. They want solutions to support their mental health and wellness. A recent survey indicated that only 53% of Canadians indicated that their mental health was good or very good; this is quite a drop from last year’s report of 67%.[1] An easy solution is to provide an employee and family assistance program (EFAP). While counseling is at the core of an EFAP, it also has many other valuable mental health solutions for employees who are struggling.

A great way to combine the need for flexibility and for wellness is a flex account. A flex account is a pool of money that employees can direct to either a health or wellness spending account. A Health Spending Account (HSA) covers claims for health, dental, and prescription drugs, and is regulated by Canada Revenue Agency. A wellness account, on the other hand, allows you the flexibility of letting your employees choose what they want to be covered.

Some of the most common wellness expenses are gym memberships and sports fees but vet bills and even home office furniture can qualify too. This can be of huge value to employees when at least two-thirds of Canadian businesses have 60% of their staff working from home (and up to 55% of employees will continue to work remotely post-pandemic).[2]

Digital telemedicine offerings are another way that you can offer flexible wellness solutions for your employees. Available through the telephone or through an app, telemedicine offers your employees the ability to connect with a physician or nurse practitioner 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Canadians are showing higher satisfaction rates when meeting with a doctor digitally and many are even saying that they prefer a digital meeting as a first visit.[3]

Having a range of digital and flexible wellness options for your employees gives you not only a leg up on your competition for recruitment but also lets you take care of your employees’ physical and mental wellness. It’s an investment that for most employers, is well worth making.

Hairstyle Inn Salon Your Trusted Saskatoon Salons for 10 Years!

TRUSTED SASKATOON RECOGNIZES OUR 10 YEAR PARTNERS!

In this series of articles, we are shining a spotlight on the businesses that have been with us since we launched in 2011. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are recognizing each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the public of Saskatoon and surrounding areas! In this article, we celebrate and recognize Laddie, Shelley and their amazing team at Hairstyle Inn Salon.


We are pleased to celebrate Hairstyle Inn Salons who have been TRUSTED Saskatoon Salon partners for over 10 years!

Right from the start Laddie and Shelley James believed in our idea and they believed that together we could make a difference! Hairstyle Inn Salons are a fun, fresh & locally owned; well-known salon group with TWO Saskatoon locations. Hairstyle Inn at the Centre Mall and Hairstyle Inn at The Lawson MallTheir wonderful creative team makes up one of Saskatchewan's premier cut, colour and design salon groups, established by the James family in 1976 when Laddie’s father opened up their first location.



Laddie has an impressive reputation within the salon industry worldwide, and he has been invited as an expert to perform and speak at major industry events and fashion shows from New York to Amsterdam! Hairstyle Inn Salons are in an industry that is notorious for the turnover of staff, but they buck the trend. They have many long-standing team members, including Katherine, who has been a stylist at the Centre Mall location for 35 years! This really showcases what sets them apart, the wonderful, caring and supportive environment that has been built and nurtured there over the years. They have a huge heart and it is OBVIOUS to anyone that steps inside their salons.

It’s easy to see why Hairstyle Inn Salons have such a great, long-standing history in Saskatoon and so many satisfied clients... me included! Every time I walk up to the counter I’m always greeted with a smile no matter who sees me first. I’ve been lucky enough to have my hair done by a few of their talented stylists and each and every time they are professional, friendly, and really take their time to get to know me personally. At either HSI location, it really is a place where everyone knows your name... or at least that’s how I feel! I’ve been to other salons around the city for many years and Hairstyle Inn Salons are by far the best around, and I’ll continue to go there and rave to others about their amazing team and outstanding service!


GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF HSI

The team at Hairstyle Inn Salons also gives back to our community in a huge way. They always step up to donate items and time, including volunteering at The Persephone Theatre, C95 Radio marathon, and last but certainly not least, the non-profit that Shelley James founded in 2006 - TLC@HOME. TLC@Home stands for Touching The Lives Of Children at Home. They provide a Christmas shoebox full of gifts for children at several participating inner-city schools in Saskatoon. They started with a few classes in one school and have continued to grow the number of children we reach each year. Their goal is to reach every child in each of the community city schools in Saskatoon. 


"The Trusted team has been actively involved in fundraising and donating our time to this great initiative. We treasure the days over the years that our team has been invited along to distribute gifts directly to children in the schools. I am so grateful to have Laddie, Shel and the team as part of my business and part of my life. " - Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder


 



Our involvement with  TLC@Home sparked the idea to launch a non-profit category on Trusted Saskatoon to further support 4 local non-profits and the Trusted team is proud to support TLC@Home as a Trusted Saskatoon Non-profit. 

Hear from the wonderful Laddie and Shelley by watching the Behind The Brand interview that was recorded last year. 



Over the last 10 years, Hairstyle Inn Salons has been re-checked, re-verified and mystery shopped several times, and each time they pass with flying colours. They continue to be top salons in Saskatoon and they have always upheld our 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES of service for the 10 YEARS as Trusted Saskatoon Partners.
