What to know
Safe and Trusted Canada connects Canadian consumers and businesses. Our website is in English; use your browser’s translation feature to view it in another language. We are BBB accredited. See our BBB report
We create Information Only Profiles from publicly available business information. Business owners can manage their information through their own account or request removal. Consumers can search by business name, location, phone number, services and Trust Factors. City and Town listings identify communities served, while Trade Areas include surrounding communities. Every business can access any trade area in Canada. A contractor can access other trade areas, but may need a municipal license for those areas. A company that markets to other trade areas to draw consumers to its business location needs a municipal license only for its trade area. Trade areas include cities and towns. The number of city or town trade areas depends on the subscription type and whether the business purchases extra trade areas with Extended Visibility. The letters TA after a city or town name identify a trade area. For example, Saskatoon TA can include Saskatoon and the surrounding area. Some cities and towns just outside major centres are designated as separate Trade Areas because of their population, location, or because they serve a local population area.
