At Reed Security, one of our core values is Care. We talk a lot about protecting the communities we serve, but recently, we decided to put our tools where our mouth is.
We are incredibly proud to announce the successful installation of our inaugural Community Cameras project, and the very first recipient is the truly deserving YWCA Saskatoon.
They are currently putting the finishing touches on a brand-new, 90-space childcare center located at 140 Wall Street. This facility is a much-needed extension of the amazing work they already do at their 25th Street location, and we wanted to ensure their new space was as safe and secure as possible.
Trading Our Desks for Toolbelts
To make this massive project happen, we did something unprecedented: we completely shut down the Reed Security office for the day.
We formed cross-departmental installation teams to get the work done together.
The Experts: Our experienced technicians stepped up as project team leads, guiding the process from start to finish.
The Rookies: Members of our sales, admin, and support teams traded their everyday tasks for non-traditional roles, pulling wire, mounting cameras, and learning the ropes.
It was a phenomenal day of hands-on learning, cross-training, and team building. Getting out from behind our screens to physically build a safer environment was the ultimate expression of how much we care about our community.
Peace of Mind for Local Families
For the YWCA, safety isn't just a feature; it's a necessity.
Carla Huntington, the VP of Development & Engagement at the YWCA, shared that security is top of mind for their organization. The families dropping off their children at the new 140 Wall Street location need to know their kids are in a safe, monitored environment. Providing that ultimate peace of mind is exactly what the Community Cameras project is designed to do.
Carla also mentioned how easy and pleasant the grant process was, noting that without community support and great security, they wouldn't be able to do the vital work they do.
Does Your Non-Profit Need Smarter Security?
We couldn’t be happier with how our first Community Cameras installation turned out, and we are already looking forward to the next one.
If you are part of a local non-profit organization that could benefit from a state-of-the-art security system, we want to hear from you!
