Chair's Message Tyler Willox

various cultural and ethnic backgrounds that reflect Regina’s diversity is also an important part of the Regina Chambers’ mandate; as an independent member driven organization dedicated to fostering an environment in which our community proposers. Regina, and the province, continues to grow and much of that growth is driven by international immigration.

T

he Regina Chamber’s Board of Directors has made a direct effort to recruit board members that reflect our community and diversity in a number of different areas including: gender, ethnicity, and professional backgrounds. Many organizations across Canada have put measures in place to improve their board diversity. This includes the provincial organizations that act as their securities regulators, with the majority of them introducing requirements three years ago to improve their gender diversity. Since that time, they have not hit their target of 30% female representation on their boards and, as of September 2016, have 12% female representation. The Regina Chamber currently sits at 38% female representation on its Board of Directors, which has 13 representatives. While we have not yet reached parity, we continue to strive to engage strong female leaders from the business community to join the board. Having individuals on the Board with

From 2011 – 2016 the population of Regina has grown from 193,150 to 215,106 respectively, for a change in population of 11.4% (Stats Can). Recent data suggests that much of this increase is due to international immigration rather than interprovincial migration. According to the Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics, we had a net loss in interprovincial migration of 3,644 in 2016. International migration, on the other hand, has accounted for a population increase of 11,256 in 2015 and 11,042 in 2014.

In his speech, he mentioned that he was recently in a meeting where realized the individuals in the meeting represented Jamaican, Caucasian, First Nation, East Indian and Asian backgrounds, in addition to their diverse professional backgrounds, and spoke of how proud he was to be a part of this.

From The CEO's Desk by John Hopkins, CEO, Regina Chamber

When comparing property tax levels across the country Regina’s rates are very competitive even with the record high increase this year. For example, in the City of Calgary 2016 Property Tax Survey, Regina had the second lowest residential property tax per capita when compared to 14 other communities including Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg among others. We will continue to monitor and work with City Council in relation to property tax increases, splits, ratios and levels.

R

ecently Regina City Council passed an additional mill rate increase of 2.5% which equates to a 6.5% increase when added to the 3.99% increase approved earlier. A 6.5% property tax increase is the highest increase in years particularly when combined with the 15% increase in education property taxes for business. While the increase in property taxes are material we are closely monitoring the split of taxes between residential and non-residential. This year City Council decided to keep the split the same as it has been for the past 17 years at 63% residential which generates $139 million and 37% nonresidential (business) which generates $81 million. However not every member of City Council supports the current split and while it would be premature to push the alarm bell there is at least one City Councillor who is clearly signaling that business should pay more, a lot more. According to him business should be paying 50% of the total $220 million tax levy which would require a $29 million increase (35%) to business and a corresponding $29 million decrease to residential. Fortunately, there does not appear to be a lot of traction with the rest of Council for his agenda at this point but City Council did ask for a report from the City Manager to look at the split.

Turning to other matters, the Regina & District Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be hosting the Emerging Labour Trends Conference on May 24th. The event will feature Jennifer Moss an expert on emotional intelligence in the workplace. In addition, attendees will learn about emerging economic trends, Indigenous engagement as well as the importance of healthy lifestyles and mental health in the workplace. Information and registration for the conference can be found on reginachamber. com. Over the past number of weeks there has been a great deal of chatter about the Regina Bypass with claims that it could have been done for $400 million and now that number has ballooned to $1.88 billion. Initially the plan for the

bypass was to divert non local traffic away from Victoria Avenue and the Ring Road by building a bypass around the south of the city at a cost of approximately $400 million which I assume is where the $400 million number is coming from. However, at the same time there were a couple of overpass projects being planned outside of Regina to address significant safety concerns east of the city which also had a price tag of approximately $400 million. Finally, there was still another project that looked at diverting truck traffic off Dewdney Avenue on the west side of the city which also carried with it a cost of approximately $400 million. All three sets of projects were combined to become the Regina Bypass as we know it today which has a construction price tag of $1.2 billion. The difference between the $1.2 billion price and the $1.88 billion price is $1.2 billion is the construction cost and the $1.88 billion is the construction cost plus the transfer of risk to the private contractor, 34 years of maintenance, reconstruction, snow removal and handing over the project in “like new” condition in 34 years. Within the next few months parts of the Regina Bypass will be open to traffic east of the city with the remaining sections being completed over the next couple of years.

Saskatchewan is Social, but is your business? Submitted by DirectWest

E

xperts, articles, podcasts and more endlessly chatter about the need and value of getting your business on social media. But such opinions often focus on all social media everywhere. While that might work for global brands, does a local business need to be found an social media everywhere? In this article, we break from the pack to focus our discussion on social media in Saskatchewan. Here, beyond brand promotion or seeking to better understanding customers, we believe that the fundamental question challenging Saskatchewan businesses on social media is more simple. And that simple question is: “Are my customers even there?” The short answer is YES. A recent Insightrix Research survey on social media activity in Saskatchewan found that 87% of us are active on social media 1, up from 83% in 2015. And while this shouldn’t surprise us, it does somehow. We hear, and at times 1 Insightrix Saskatchewan Social Media Report 2016

ourselves think, that people in Saskatchewan see themselves differently. While that may be true for some things, Saskatchewan consumers behave like many across Canada. People flock to social media for recommendations on where to get a great oil change or which local restaurant has the best lunch buffet – much like they used to ask neighbours and friends – and they also research and choose businesses by reviews and ratings for key purchases. But, if people are now finding guidance online, and your business isn’t there, you might be overlooked by a potential customer who chooses a competitor active on social media. Being socially active helps customers identify with your business. Their friends’ activity may even encourage them to interact with you. After all, friends liking and following business can provide instant creditability, making customers more likely to buy your products and services. Or not. So, there is value for your business to be found on social media. But where should you start? With so many platforms and increasingly niche audiences, choosing where to begin can be challenging. Having helped over 1,000 Saskatchewan businesses set up and/ or manage their social media presence, we’ve found that the best place for any business to start their social media journey is with the king of social channels – Facebook. Though potentially contradictory to our thoughts on experts and their global focus above, when 77% of social media users in Saskatchewan follow a business or brand on Facebook 2, such exposure is valuable. While 14 to 17 year olds might scoff at Facebook, they are not the key customer profile for most businesses anyway. Instead, businesses start with and are active on Facebook where much of the following, liking, reviewing and monitoring businesses 2 Ibid

is done by people. Data also shows that nearly half of social media users claim to have posted reviews on products, services, entertainment, etc. 3, even when they aren’t customers. So, what is my first step? Simple: claim your Facebook page. By doing this, you ensure that potential customers find a managed page with consistent branding, personal responses to reviews (which are an opportunity to improve and engage with vested customers), and owned and promoted messages that your business wants people to hear. Next, develop a social media strategy, including guidelines and a schedule of posts, to illustrate your desire to engage with and provide valuable and timely content to customers. It seems straight-forward, but is it? Yes and no. First, understand that optimizing and updating your business’ page on Facebook is costly and involves more than time alone. If in doubt, consider selecting someone to manage your Facebook presence for you. Second, when choosing a provider always select a reputable firm that understands social media and knows Saskatchewan. This is critical: it ensures your message reaches your customers, aligns with your brand and deeply engages with Saskatchewan’s active social media public. In conclusion, while it’s time to get social, it must be done right. But, now that I have started, how do I gain followers? How do I build loyalty? In our next article, we discuss changes to Facebook, how to build a following and more. For now, get active in and gain from social media!
