Trusted Saskatoon

Supporting Businesses, Consumers, and the Community is What We Do Best.

I immigrated to Saskatoon in 2006 and launched TrustedSaskatoon.com in 2011 to support local businesses. I wanted to dominate local online advertising and reward integrity-driven, locally- owned companies emotional well-being, while providing a total body workout within a safe and inclusive atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a new way to get into a cardio routine, join a supportive community, or give back, Ryde YXE has something for everyone. Try our new Ryder 3 Rydes for $30, hop into a $10 Ryde for change charity class on Friday nights, or check out our custom app for booking with ease. Thank you for supporting local! www.rydeyxe.ca with unique advantages in the marketplace. The company has evolved, and in 2014, Trusted Marketing Services launched to help clients with websites, graphic design, social media, animated videos, and more. What has stayed the same is our commitment to supporting local. www.trustedsaskatoon.com

We could save money by hiring remote international workers and sourcing our suppliers online. However, those choices would not help our local economy, which is my focus, as it benefits all of us as citizens. Trusted donates time, money and services to local non-profits, which we have done since inception; In May, I will participate in the 2023 Sanctum Survivor 36hr Challenge to raise funds and awareness for Saskatoons' most vulnerable citizens.

The best marketing and business advice I can offer is to prioritize supporting local. It may mean I retire a few years later, but I will do so with the satisfaction that I did the right thing for the community that has done so much for me.

Refresh Inn & Suites

Refresh Inn & Suites is a small family-owned hotel located on College Drive across from the Royal University Hospital and University of Saskatchewan. Due to our location, we cater to families who have loved ones in the hospital or people visiting the U of S, or those needing to be close to down town. We opened our doors in July of 2014 as we saw a need for more accommodation for people close to the hospital and university. We have been very busy since, including through the entire pandemic. Our rooms include free NETFLIX in every room, 4-piece ensuite washrooms, custom beds and mattresses in every room and access to a common gourmet kitchen for people to cook their own meals if they choose. We offer free parking and are immaculately clean. We hire great staff and buy local products when possible. We are environmentally friendly and have barrier free/wheel chair accessible rooms. We are different than most hotels as we get to know our guests, especially those who end up staying longer for visits to the hospital or university and then return for medical appointments. We try to support our guests during their highest of highs, like when a baby is born or following a successful surgery or treatment, as well as their lowest of lows like when they lose a loved one to illness or disease. Recently, we were very pleased to be able help a young man with cerebral palsy in his journey from Ukraine to Saskatoon. www.refreshinnandsuites.com
