May has been an amazing month of recognition for the Trusted Team and we are thrilled to share that  S & E Trusted Online Directories Inc founder Sara Wheelwright was the recipient of the 2014 YWCA Saskatoon  Women of Distinction Award in the Entrepreneur category on May 29th. 

The 33rd Annual YWCA Women of Distinction Awards® celebrate the best in women’s achievements, across industry, culture and public service, honouring ordinary women for their extraordinary contributions to the Saskatoon community.

The YWCA Women of Distinction Awards are recognized nationally among the most prestigious awards for women. Now in their 33rd year, the awards have celebrated the best in women’s achievements, with over 800 individuals nominated to the ranks of the Women of Distinction in Saskatoon.

The 37 outstanding and inspirational finalists in the 10 categories were all nominated, they then had to submit letters of support and provide back ground information about their achievements and why they were leader in their categories.  All applications were  then submitted to a judging panel and the winners were  announced at the wonderful ceremony in the Grand Salon at TCU Place Saskatoon, in front of a full house!

By investing in their ' Trust factor' they can differentiate themselves from the 'other companies' in their category that perhaps don't do such a good job...and by partnering themselves with Trusted, they can demonstrate how they are willing to ' put themselves out there' on the Trusted websites as they contract themselves to uphold the 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES , which are the cornerstone of what Trusted is all about!

The Trusted team are relaxed and tanned from the long weekend and this great blast of summer weather we have been enjoying in Sunny Saskatchewan, and we are eager to brag about our third and final Trusted Flooring company End of the Roll.. after that we will tell you all about the local event we are involved in promoting/ sponsoring in September here in Saskatoon for Child Find Saskatchewan  

End Of the Roll

We are so proud to have a wonderful TRIO of Trusted Flooring stores to promote on trustedsaskatoon.com , and End of The Roll is an extremely worthy 3rd and final listing to close the category. All you have to do is take note of the fact that they are winners of the 'Consumer Chioce Awards' for Top Flooring Store 2010, Top Flooring Store 2011 and Top Flooring Distributor 2011 , and you will see why they came highly recommended to Trusted. The owner Rod Mellquist leads from the front and loves what he does for a living ..the staff are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell they enjoy working in the store and for Rod....which makes for a great shopping environment...NO PRESSURE at all! The selection of flooring available is very impressive...you name it they have it..aswell as some bargain 'end of the rolls ' too!  

 They believe that customer service doesn’t end with you choosing your flooring; they will help you schedule your installation, provide product education, and choose accessories. Your experience should be nothing but the best. End Of The Roll is a company that stands behind their products and services (each locally owned franchise is part of the End Of The Roll family and being a part of each community is important to them)

As they say " SEE IT..LOVE IT....GET IT" and at those prices we can see why they do so well..check out their listing here on  www.trustedsaskatoon.com

 Trusted community involvement

Trusted believes in giving back and will be having a consistent presence in community charities/ non profits and events  in all of the Trusted cities we service..in July we sponsored the Tourism Saskatoon golf tournament , we are partners with Tourism Saskatoon , as we know many newcomers visit places they are moving to BEFORE they move and we want to be able to provide them with Trusted resources..think about it .. things like Trusted Hotels for when they visit ...and then Trusted realtors, mortgage brokers, legal and financial services to assist them if they are considering relocation to the city..then of course we have all the Trusted services and stores they need once they get here..how better to give a good impression to potential newcomers than to provide a helpfull resource like www.trustedsaskatoon.com to ensure their first experiences are positive ones...check out Tourism Saskatoons banner ad below that appears on our home page! 

With that in mind, we are thrilled to be sponsoring a WONDERFUL Fundraising event for Child Find Saskatchewan at the Saskatoons Broadway Theater on Wed September 21st at 7pm.
