At Trusted Saskatoon, we are proud to celebrate and support the incredible local businesses that help make our city vibrant, connected, and full of heart. Today, we are especially honoured to shine a spotlight on one of Saskatoon’s most iconic and enduring establishments. Bateman Jewellers is celebrating an extraordinary 80 years in business!

A True Saskatoon Legacy

Since opening their doors in 1945, Bateman Jewellers, a Trusted Saskatoon Jewellery Store, has been a pillar of the Saskatoon business community. The store was founded by George Bateman after his return from serving in World War II, and it has remained a trusted name in the city ever since. Over the years, Bateman’s has proudly served four generations of Saskatoon families.

Now recognized as Saskatoon's oldest independent jewellery store, Bateman Jewellers represents more than just longevity. It reflects a legacy built on trust, quality, and dedication. For eight decades, customers have turned to Bateman’s to help mark life’s most meaningful milestones, including engagements, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, and birthdays.

More Than Just Jewellery

While fine jewellery remains at the core of their business, Bateman Jewellers offers much more. Their beautiful showroom features a wide selection of high-quality watches, fashion jewellery, and premium giftware. Customers will find elegant glassware, stylish jewellery boxes, luxurious home fragrance items from Maison Berger, and a thoughtful assortment of well-crafted household pieces.

Whether shopping for a timeless piece of jewellery, a quality timepiece, or a unique gift, customers can count on the knowledgeable team at Bateman’s to provide honest advice and exceptional service.

A Business Rooted in Trust and Community

Bateman Jewellers is currently owned and operated by Cam and Janice Kripki, who have carried the store’s legacy forward with care and integrity. Cam began working at Bateman’s in 1991 and later took over ownership in 2005 alongside Janice. Together, they have preserved the values and reputation that have defined Bateman’s for generations.

Cam and Janice are deeply committed to the Saskatoon community. Over the years, they have generously supported numerous local charities, events, and fundraisers. Though they rarely seek the spotlight, their impact on the community has been significant and lasting.

Celebrating 80 Remarkable Years

Eighty years in business is an incredible achievement that speaks to the strength of Bateman Jewellers’ values and their loyal customer base. As one of the oldest operating businesses in Saskatoon, they have become a trusted name not just for their beautiful products, but for their honest approach and unwavering commitment to service.

From all of us at Trusted Saskatoon, congratulations to Cam, Janice, and the entire Bateman Jewellers team on reaching this milestone. Thank you for enriching our community and for being a shining example of what it means to be a local business that truly cares.

We raise a toast to your continued success. Here’s to many more years of sparkle, service, and legacy!

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!

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