Chair's Message
June 2016
before taking a break for July and August, I would like to comment about our
Chamber’s focus during the next couple
months.
We will refocus our Strategic Plan to
take into account the adjustments that
the economy has taken over the last two
years. Companies are tasked by the new
reality of lower commodity prices and
a weak Canadian dollar and this must
be reflected in strategically allocating
Chamber’s resources.
2016 Chair Bob Kasian
From endless activities in the Downtown
to the beautiful Wascana Centre, you will
find your spirit rejuvenated by seizing the
day and enjoying what Regina has to offer.
Fort McMurray
Fort McMurray and its oilsand projects
are a major cylinder in the western Canadian economy – a cylinder that all but
came to a halt in the month of May due
to the massive forest fires that affected
a city whose population is nearly 2 times
the size of Moose Jaw and thousands of
others who live in work camps outside
of the city.
As a business, there are many ways to
enjoy these activities with your cast and
crew. Plan a lunch at the Farmers’ Market
or maybe a team building event at Wascana. There is so much to see and enjoy
in this great city of ours – all it takes is
a little bit of planning and imagination!
With this our final ChamberLink issue
Canadians, alongside the various governments and supporting agencies, came
together to help the residents of Fort
McMurray during this sad and difficult
time. Together, we can work to provide
support to help them get back on their
feet and as Canadians we can feel proud
that we can set our differences aside in a

Ag-Tech Innovation
Though many of our industries have
been facing many setbacks and challenges, one bright spot of innovation
and creativity emerged from the University of Regina, with a team of students from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science winning the
2016 agBOT Challenge and its first
place prize of $50,000 (US) for their
design of an unmanned crop seeder
that provides real-time statistics via a
tracking antenna. Congratulations to
U of R students Sam Dietrich, Joshua
Friedrick, Caleb Friedrick as well as
to their advisory team on a job well
done!
Thank you and have a great summer!

From The CEO's Desk
by John Hopkins, CEO R&DCC
Diversify and Grow
2
016 has proven to be a challenging
year for our community and our
province because of a number of factors not least of which are a depressed
energy sector fraught with uncertainty,
slow global demand for Saskatchewan
goods, and a number of layoffs and closures, all of which have put a strain on
the economic vitality we have become
accustom to. While there is little debate
that the slowdown will continue at least
in the near term, Saskatchewan is still in
many ways the envy of the nation because we are still creating opportunities
for local people as well as those from
abroad.
The key to Saskatchewan’s future will be
our ability to continue to diversify our
economy while at the same time ensuring that we protect and augment the
economic mainstays that have served
us so well over the years including agriculture, oil and gas, and mining. From
a local perspective we need to continue
to work at growing the Global Transportation Hub to match the vision. We
also need to provide greater focus on
manufacturing and value added agriculture which have proven to be exceedingly viable for companies like Brandt
Industries and AGT Foods.
At the time of the writing of this message the Provincial Budget has yet to be
released other than the knowledge that
this budget will be a deficit budget but
with an assurance that we will return
ChamberLink 4
to balance very soon. While some are
of the view that year over year deficit
budgets are perfectly acceptable given
the relatively small size of the provincial debt coupled with the current
economic climate we would argue that
fiscal prudence over the long term will
far outweigh any contemporary gains.
While members had a great deal to say
in the recent Regina & District Chamber of Commerce Economic Indicator
Survey one of the very clear messages
to government is the importance of fiscal prudence.
Over the summer our Chamber will be
working on the development of a new
strategic plan given the reality that the
environment has changed quite dramatically over the past couple of years.
Some of the key parts of the plan will
come as a result of what members have
been saying. For example, there is no
question that the number one area of
focus as expressed by members is economic growth. What do we need to do
to grow the local, provincial and national economies? What role can and
should the Regina & District Chamber
of Commerce play? These are questions
that we will look to answer with one of
the most obvious answers being that we
will continue to be strong advocates for
growth.
Not everyone in our community believes in growth. On the contrary there
are people who believe that growth is
anything but positive leading to endless
greenfield developments or at best that
growth is but a norm that simply needs
to be managed. Our view is quite the
opposite. Economic growth is not an
inherent right but rather the result of
focused efforts particularly during challenging economic times. We cannot and
should not be looking for reasons to stop
or stall growth but rather on how we can
facilitate growth while at the same time
doing the due diligence that is required.
Over the summer our community will see
a number of transformations including the
completion of the new Mosaic Stadium
which will become a community icon for
decades to come as well as the continued
construction of the Regina Bypass which
will address a long standing need. Moreover we will begin to see an ever increasing
number of roadway projects as the City of
Regina’s capital projects for 2016 come on
stream.

Summer of Arts and Culture in Downtown Regina
Submitted by the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District
T
he Regina Downtown Business
Improvement District (RDBID)
has created summer activities
and programs that will transform Regina’s City Centre into a bright and
beautiful space with art, flowers and
splashes of colours at every angle. Our
quest is to continue to evoke positive
emotion and elevate what we offer locals and visitors in our downtown. We
want to see you this summer, making
memories and choosing to participate
in our very busy downtown.
RDBID brings you Pop Up Downtown, an exciting initiative that is
geared towards creating a dynamic,
walk-able and cultural experience. We
are installing eight original pieces of
art in under-used spaces in the downtown core to give an opportunity to
enjoy art where you just might not expect it.
Innovative beauty will not stop there,
as RDBID supports PARK(ing) Day, a
global movement where citizens, artists and activists will unite and collaborate to transform metered parking
spaces into new forms of temporary
public space. RDBID is proud to host
up to six Park(ing) Day spaces in the
heart of downtown.
Together we bring Pallet Furniture that
will be located on the City Square Plaza.
Students built the chairs and the colours
are inspired by the RDBID brand and we
hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Entertainment that can be found at different corner of our downtown, and to
add even more fun, we are introducing
Games Downtown, a program where
games will be made available to the public. You’ll find fun such as a large scale
Connect Four as well as Jenga, table tennis, chess, and a variety of other board
and card games.
The Regina Farmers Market is a must-see
market that grows each year, tantalizing
taste-buds’ booth by booth. Make sure to
attend Market Under the Stars, as these
events continues to delight shoppers and
satisfy cravings under a canvas of stars.
Creating memories that become traditions
is the heartbeat of the plaza. Cinema Under the Stars will continue to take place in
the plaza over the summer offering free
family-friendly movies with activities and
games. Bring your blankets, pillows and
pajamas – and make priceless memories
under the spectacular prairie sky.
And once again, we celebrate The Regina
Folk Festival, held annually in Victoria
Park in August. This is a much anticipated
and immense celebration of music and
community with well known acts alongside other acts for you to discover.
When our community rallies together
to bring events to the downtown, every
one wins. These initiatives are just a few
ways we are hoping to entice you to come
downtown this summer.
Please check out www.reginadowntown.ca
for a complete listing.
The Regina Downtown Business Improvement
District (RDBID) is an organization that provides a range of business and community services
to promote and enhance Downtown’s unique assets, to improve conditions for businesses operating in the district, and to improve the quality
of life for those who shop, work, live and play
downtown.
Planting seeds for growth doesn’t only
happen in our strategic planning sessions! RDBID is offering all downtown members the opportunity to
participate in Downtown in Bloom, a
program offered to support planting
flowers outside businesses to beautify
the neighborhood.
Creating a vibrant downtown is something we are very proud of and continue to find unique partnerships that
will enhance our downtown so we are
excited to announce that a partnership
has been formed between RDBID and
the Regina Skills and Trade Centre.

Work-Share To Avoid Layoffs
Government of Canada EI program
T
he Government of Canada’s WorkSharing program helps employers
and employees avoid layoffs when
a short-term reduction in the typical
level of business activity occurs that is
beyond the control of the employer.
This measure provides income support
to employees eligible for Employment
Insurance benefits who work a temporarily reduced work week while their employer work towards recovery.
This is a multi-party agreement that involves employers, employees and Service Canada (and a union, if applicable).
Employees on a Work-Sharing agreement must agree to a reduced schedule
of work and to share the available work
over a specified period of time.
slowdown, the shortage of work must
be directly associated with a reduction
in the organizations normal level of
business activity.
• Demonstrate a recent decrease in
business activity of 10% or more; and,
• Submit and implement a recovery
plan designed to return to normal
working hours by the end of the WorkSharing agreement.
Employees being proposed for a
Work-Sharing agreement must:
• be "core employees" (i.e. year-round
permanent full-time or part-time employees who are required to carry out
the everyday functions of normal business activity);
• be eligible to receive Employment Insurance benefits; and,
• agree to a reduction of their normal
working hours in order to share the
available work.
Submit an Application
More information about how to apply
for the program can be found at:
http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/
work_sharing/index.shtml
or by calling:
1-866-891-5319
The minimum duration of a Work-Share
agreement is 6 weeks and a maximum
initial duration of 26 weeks with a possible extension of 12 weeks.
In the 2016 Budget, the Government of
Canada brought in temporary measures
to address those who have been affected by the downturn in the commodities
sectors. For those directly or indirectly
affected by this downturn, the government has extended the maximum duration of a Work-Sharing agreement from
38 weeks to 76 weeks.
In order to apply, however, you must
qualify for the program according to the
terms of agreement.
To be eligible for a WS agreement,
employers must:
• Have been in business in Canada yearround for at least two years;
• Be a private business, a publicly-held
company, or a not-for-profit organization;
• Demonstrate that the shortage of
work is temporary and beyond their
control, and is not a cyclical/recurring

Membership Survey
Economic Indicator Results
T
he Regina & District Chamber of Commerce surveyed members of the organization on April 12, 2016 electronically. The survey
was completed by 145 individuals.
Members of the Regina & District Chamber
of Commerce expect employment levels within
their organizations to stay the same over the
next 12 months as indicated by 56% of those
who responded, or grow as indicated by 30%
which is contrasted by 9% who expect employee
numbers to decrease and 5% who were unsure
or did not know. When looking a salary/wage
levels 48% expect to increase compensation levels followed by 41% who expect levels to stay
the same, and 2% who expect compensation
levels to contract.
48% of survey respondents expect the Regina
economy will stay the same as compared to 25%
who expect the economy will grow, 20% who
expect the economy will contract and 8% who
are unsure or don’t know. When asked what
priorities they would have if they had their say
at City Hall members were very clear that ‘economic growth’ is the top priority with a 2.0 rating (the lower the rating score the higher the
priority) followed by infrastructure improvements at 2.1, competitive taxation at 2.6, improving social conditions at 3.0 and the regulatory environment at 4.1.
When looking at the provincial economy 34%
of respondents expect the economy will grow
over the next 12 months followed by 34% who
believe the economy will stay the same, 23%
who expect the economy will contract and 8%
who are unsure or don’t know. If Regina Chamber members were able to have their say at the
legislature members were once again very clear
that economic growth is job one with a 2.2 rating followed by investments in infrastructure at
2.9, competitive taxation at 3.2, fiscal prudence
and healthcare at 3.3, education at 4 and the environment way down the list at 5.2. Turning to
taxes members were asked which tax would be a
priority tax cut when fiscally prudent. Personal
income tax at 43% is the top choice followed
by the small business corporate rate at 24%, the
PST at 15%, and the general corporate rate at
6%.
Looking at the national economy
39% expect the economy will stay
the same over the coming 12 months
compared to 29% of respondents
who expect to see growth, 19% who
expect to see contraction and 11%
who were unsure or did not know.
Turning to national priorities the
membership is once again very clear
that economic growth needs to be
the priority with a 2.0 rating followed by infrastructure investments
at 2.9, competitive taxation at 3.0,
fiscal prudence at 3.1, national security at 3.7 and immigration and
the environment at the tail end of
priorities with scores of 4.9 respectively. On the tax cut front 54% of
members once again indicated that
personal income tax cuts should
be the number one tax cut priority
when fiscally feasible followed by
corporate income tax at 14%, GST
at 12%, and payroll taxes at 6%.
The energy crisis/global economic
slowdown are seen as the top barriers to growth by 74% of respondents followed by the value of the
Canadian dollar at 42%, and extreme environmentalism at 26%.
The shortage of labour which had
historically been the top impediment to growth for over a decade
is now viewed as a top barrier to
growth by 11%.
Members of the Regina & District
Chamber of Commerce believe the
top advocacy priority areas for the
organization are promotion of economic growth – 74%, infrastructure
investments - 41%, fiscal prudence
36%, and community partnerships
at 31%.

“HAVING A DENE-SPEAKING AGENT
WITHIN OUR CALL CENTRE ENVIRONMENT
WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED.”

Dennis Baranieski is the Vice President of Business Development and Customer
Relations with West Wind Aviation. When they needed a new contact centre, they
called SaskTel. “For many of our customers in the far North, Dene is their first
language and we felt they should have the opportunity to book their flights in
that language,” explains Dennis. “With our Hosted Contact Centre from SaskTel,
they can press 1 for Dene, 2 for English, and away they go.”
