Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence: Wiebe Windows & More

At Trusted, we are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone for one of our outstanding Trusted Saskatoon partners—Wiebe Windows & More, who are marking 10 years in business in 2025! Since joining the Trusted Saskatoon directory in 2017, Wiebe Windows & More has been a pillar in our Saskatoon Window & Door category. We are proud to promote and support this exceptional local business.

10 Years of Excellence

Founder Bradley Wiebe has been working in construction and installing windows and doors in Saskatoon and the surrounding area since 2004. Raised on a farm just outside Saskatoon, Bradley’s strong work ethic and values were shaped early on by helping his parents on the family farm. Those same principles of integrity, accountability, and hard work have been the foundation of Wiebe Windows & More Ltd. since its inception in 2015.

In 2019, Bradley’s wife, Anna, officially joined the business. This was a full-circle moment for us at Trusted Saskatoon, as Anna had previously worked with us as an account manager, so she knows firsthand what it means to be Trusted! Today, Anna plays a crucial role in the business, looking after marketing, administration, and project coordination—and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty helping on-site when needed, and she recently started her own business Phoenix Home & Estate Organizing- they also have a busy family  life with  4 active children 

Wiebe Windows & More lives up to their tagline: “A View You Can Trust.” Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction is clear in every project they take on. But what truly sets them apart is their unwavering dedication to the community.

The Wiebes are passionate about giving back. They are longtime supporters of the Mending Little Hearts Fund of Saskatchewan—a cause close to their hearts, as their son William underwent open-heart surgery in 2016. Anna volunteers her time managing social media and organizing fundraisers for the charity, and the entire family pitches in for events and the annual CHAMPS camp. Their generosity doesn’t stop there—they are also a hands on sponsor for TLC @ Home, a local grassroots non- profit that distributes shoeboxes of gifts to several Saskatoon community schools - Wiebe helps with deliveries and also helped with loading the schools in 2024, they also donate up to $500 in toys, toiletries, mitts etc and Anna volunteers many hours to fill the shoeboxes. In addition, they sponsor a Christmas meal each year for a local family in need, in partnership with Boryski’s Butcher Block.

In 2024, their outstanding community efforts were recognized when they received the SABEX Community Investment Award from the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce—a well-deserved honour for a business that continues to lead with heart.


Bradley and Anna, we at Trusted Saskatoon applaud your incredible decade of service, craftsmanship, and compassion. Thank you for being a valued partner and for consistently demonstrating what it means to be a Trusted business in Saskatoon.

Here’s to your continued success and many more years of helping Saskatoon families see the world a little more clearly—through windows installed with care and integrity. Congratulations on 10 wonderful years!

Celebrating 25 Years of Reed Security: A Saskatoon Success Story

At Trusted Saskatoon, we have the privilege of working with some of the most committed and community-minded businesses in our city. Today, we are thrilled to recognize and celebrate one of our longest-standing partners Reed Security on their incredible 25th anniversary!

Since 2011, Reed Security has been our Trusted Saskatoon alarm and security expert, and we are proud to have them in our community. Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and integrity has set them apart as a local leader in the security industry—and it’s no wonder they’ve become a household name across Saskatoon and beyond.

Our owner, Sara, first met Virgil Reed way back in 2006 at a local networking group. At the time, Virgil was busy building what was then a young and ambitious security company. It’s been inspiring to watch Reed Security grow from those early days into a nationally recognized brand that now protects over 8,000 homes and businesses.

From the beginning, Reed Security has operated with a clear set of values: Trust, Loyalty, Care, and Effort. These values are more than words—they’re visible in every aspect of their service. Whether it’s delivering cutting-edge security technology, supporting local charities and sports teams, or launching a grant program to provide free security equipment to those in need, Reed has consistently gone above and beyond.

Their accomplishments speak volumes. Over the years, Reed Security has earned over 20 award recognitions for excellence in customer service, management quality, and marketing. Just as importantly, they’ve earned the respect and trust of the community they serve.

This year, they’re marking their milestone with a community celebration, and they invite you to join in on the fun! Reed Security’s 25th Birthday Party is taking place on May 25, 2025, at Gather Local Market in Saskatoon. From 11:25 am to 4:25 pm, expect a day full of family-friendly entertainment—bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals, music, food, games, and prizes. And no, you don’t have to be a Reed client to attend—it’s a celebration for everyone!

Congratulations to Virgil and the entire Reed Security team on 25 years of success, service, and making our communities safer. We are so grateful to promote and partner with you at Trusted Saskatoon, and we can’t wait to see what the next 25 years bring.

Here’s to many more years of safety, success, and innovation—Trust Reed!

What Customers Say About Midtown Appliance

Customer feedback highlights the exceptional service provided by both stores! 


"When 20 businesses in Saskatoon sell the same products, for me, customer service is the difference maker. We've used Midtown Appliance a few times, and at this point, it’s the only place we’ll use going forward. Great all around. Specifically dealing with their sales rep, Murray. 10/10 service, and even with a hiccup with the manufacturer's product, he was immediately there to help and remedied it. People make all the difference, and Murray's a guy you want to deal with."  - Bradford Kosokowsky.
