Premier Brad Wall, Dinner, Saskatoon, SK Print this page

About the evening: Friday, November 6, 2009

In addition to lively discussion and unique insight, the opening of Canada West Foundation’s regional office, to be located at the University of Saskatchewan’s Edwards School of Business in the KW Nasser Centre provides an opportunity for guests to meet Board Directors Susan Barber, Bob Linner, Janice MacKinnon and Gary Merasty.  The Foundation’s President & CEO, Dr Roger Gibbins, Saskatchewan Office regional Director Jack Vicq and the rest of the Board of Directors will also be on hand for the celebration.

“We expect that Saskatchewan will be the only growing province in Canada in 2009.“

“Other provinces are back in deficit, but not Saskatchewan. Other provinces are losing jobs, but not Saskatchewan.“

“After going through a 22-year stretch of uninterrupted bleeding of people to other provinces on a net basis, many to Alberta, Saskatchewan is now the recipient of increasing numbers of Canadians seeking prosperity, many of whom are coming home.“

“Saskatchewan often flies under the radar as an oil producer but is solidly set as Canada’s number two in the area.”

“While manufacturing took a beating over most of North America in 2008, especially in central Canada, Saskatchewan’s sales jumped by 17.8%.”

“The pace of job creation in 2008 (+2.2%) was well ahead of what it was nationally (+1.5%) and nearly at par with the West as a whole (+2.3%).”
