Reid & Associates Specialty Advertising www.specialtyads.ca 5 Quispamsis Mayor’s Message

I would like to congratulate the Kennebecasis Valley Business Directory on another successful publication of com- munity based services that gives the residents a very convenient source of information while at the same time promoting local businesses.

Quispamsis continues to grow rapidly with a population of approximately 15,500, ranking the 5th largest community in New Brunswick. We are proud to note that the property tax rate will decrease by 2.2 cents in 2010 with our debt service costs currently at the lowest rate in our history at 8.4%.

We are excited about the anticipated fall, 2010 opening of our new qplex project, currently under construction. The LEED Gold standard facility will include an NHL sized ice surface, an outdoor pool complex and a convention centre.

Economic development in our commercial, business park and industrial zones is a vital component to healthy community living. Council is committed, as evidenced in our Municipal Plan, to the enhancement of the existing commercial area along the Hampton Road, and the developing Pettingill Road corridor, as well as the Millennium Drive Business Park area and will continue to expand municipal infrastructure services in these areas. Our local businesses are the backbone of our community, and Quispamsis’ goal is to establish an environment that is supportive of commercial development. We have provided suitable land in acceptable locations to meet the commercial needs of our residents.

For further information, please feel free to call the Town Hall at 849-5778 or visit our web site at www.quispamsis.ca, where you will find information on our community and the many services we offer. We wish all the local businesses much success in their endeavours.

Sincerely,

Murray Driscoll Mayor Town of Quispamsis

6 KV Business Directory 2010 Rothesay Mayor’s Message

The budgets for the town of Rothesay have been finalized for the year 2010 and the New Year was ushered in with a great turnout for the Mayor’s Levee.

2010 will be a special year in Rothesay as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the naming of our community. In 1860, the area was named in honour of the Prince of Wales, who also holds the title “Duke of Rothesay”. The Prince, on a visit to Rothesay, said the area reminded him of Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland. Former Mayor Bill Artiss is chairing the Sesquicentennial committee of citizens, councillors and staff to plan a series of events during the summer period. In addition to special concerts, garden and home tours, church services and more, there will be a gala re-enactment of the arrival of the Prince of Wales in Rothesay. Suzanne Doyle-Yerxa and the K.V. Players have been asked to help showcase this special event. Stay tuned to the Rothesay website at www.rothesay.ca and watch for advertisements regarding these events.

In other news, Council enacted its new Municipal Plan in January 2010. Rothesay has adopted a number of sustain- able community planning principles to maximize the benefits of regional economic development while minimizing the environmental and social impacts of potentially rapid expansion. Council and staff look forward to partnering with community stakeholders in moving forward toward a more sustainable community. 2010 will see the enactment of a new Zoning By-law and a review of the existing Sign By-law.

A major boost to the community has been the recent $8 million in infrastructure funding which will allow us to enhance our water supply. These monies will be used to upgrade and expand our existing distribution system so we can pro- vide our residents with a safe, effective and efficient supply of water.

2010 promises to be an exciting and active year for Rothesay. I encourage you to participate in community events and engage your local government representatives to create a vibrant community for you, your family and generations to come.

The Kennebecasis Valley Chamber of Commerce was incorporated in 1996 and is a diverse group of men and women who represent more than 180 businesses in our community. At our Chamber we share ideas, raise issues and awareness, and advance the interests of our membership. Simply put “we are the voice of business” in the Valley. Here at the Chamber almost one third of our businesses are owned and/or operated by women. These include major financial institutions, insurance, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, niche and home businesses. This does not, however, include men and women business partners or all of the businesses in which a wife or partner supports the small and medium business owners from behind the scenes and there are many within the KV Chamber. All of these women are motivated and determined, and all are strong contributors to the business community in the Valley. They represent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars that help drive our Valley’s economy. In October 2009, during Small Business Week, our Chamber celebrated the success of our members by hosting our first Awards Gala. At the Gala the Chamber recognized outstanding businesses from within our membership. Of our three major award categories; Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Emerging Business of the Year, and Business of the Year Award, seven businesses nominated were either owned or managed by a women. The Chamber recognized Susan C. Jackson and Associates as a finalist in the Young Entrepreneur of the Year category; Tammy Newman and Ann Lipscombe of The Girls Bra Shop as finalists in the Emerging Business of the Year category; and the top award of the evening was presented to Donna Williamson of Brands Beyond/Merle Norman for Business of the Year/Excellence in Business Award. Outstanding! Not only are there outstanding women in our membership but some have stepped up and have served as members of our Board of Directors. In 2009, the Chamber was pleased to boast the most women ever on its Board. Four out of eleven seats are now held by women in business. Kim Isnor of BMO Bank of Montreal is a long standing member of our Board; she has even served as President. In the past, she has served on many of our volunteer committees: Social & Activities, Finance, Nominating, Awards, and Scholarship Committees to name a few. Cindy MacFarland of Homes Loans Canada has recently taken the helm as the newest Chairperson of the Social & Activities Committee. She is in the process of recruiting for this very important committee from our membership. Two new members of our Board are Gay Drescher of the Town of Rothesay and Angela Fiander of Bell Aliant. Gay is very active on the Government & Civic Relations Committee and Angela has joined the Social & Activities Committee. With these two new members, come fresh new perspectives. In closing, I would like to congratulate all our women in business here at the Chamber. Their voices, their insight, and their expertise help to make this Chamber what it is today—a strong, active, and growing force in our Valley’s business community. ~ Tobbi Lynn Debly, Executive Director

8 KV Business Directory 2010 Hon. Mary Schryer MLA, Quispamsis KV Women in Business

We encourage today’s young women to dream big and reach for the stars – after all they can do and be anything their hearts’ desire. Women are amongst the most highly educated, and have great desire and natural abilities to lead. They account for 52 percent of the population, nearly 50 percent of the workforce, and 83 percent of all consumer purchasing decisions. In other words, women play a crucial role in keeping the economy afloat. Women play a vital role in today’s society. Despite the enormous pressures women face on a daily basis,, they continue to thrive and succeed in all aspects of their lives. In addition to being active workforce participants, many play important household roles including primary caregivers to children. Often, the result can be a struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Progressive companies recognize these needs and support a healthy balance by offering family oriented benefits. Finding solutions that work for women in all aspects of their lives are crucial to ensure we maintain the talent, and integrity women can offer a business or employer. Women are key contributors in small to medium business. Since 1978, women entrepreneurs have increased 292 percent. That’s an impressive number! A common reason: it’s a lifestyle choice! Women are creating their own work environments that support their choices and lives. Women entrepreneurs have proven they’re business savvy, still staggering facts remain related to women’s roles outside the self-employment realm. The workforce is split fairly, yet in 2006 men headed 97 percent of the largest companies in Canada. There are many advantages to having women in leadership including research that shows Fortune 500 companies with higher percentages of female officers and board directors have significantly higher rates of return. Why do women increase effectiveness and enhance results? Women’s approaches are effective in business today. Their leadership style is transformational versus transactional and they tend to place high value on collaboration where working together effectively, sharing ideas and information, and integrating the best ideas possible are key. Studies echo the need for women at the top during today’s difficult economic times where improved risk-taking, long-term visioning, and less hyper-competitiveness are required. The economy needs fresh blood and new ideas; simply put, it needs women. If by now the case hadn’t been made for organizations to take an integrated, systemic approach to advance women, consider their educational attainment. In 2009, women led in worldwide university enrollment and graduation rates. In 2008, Statistics Canada reported a dramatic reversal on Canadian campuses. The 1971 Census reported 68% of 25 to 29 year-old university graduates were male; by 2006 women accounted for 60% of graduates in this age group. While the number of women in non-traditional roles has increased, more than one third of New Brunswick working females are clustered in just ten occupations. These jobs typically employ skills women have used nurturing and managing their families and homes for centuries, and offer limited opportunities. In an increasingly competitive labour market workforces must be utilized to their fullest potential. Similarly, for New Brunswick to reach self sufficiency all New Brunswickers must realize their potential. Ensuring women achieve workplace parity will improve their economic productivity, which will in turn strengthen our overall economic growth. Through the Women’s Issue’s Branch of the Executive Council Office, there are several initiatives which support women in business and women entering into the workforce. For example, wage gap scholarships are available to those entering into non-traditional roles. Pay equity legislation has been introduced which will ensure that pay equity legislation applies to all parts of the public service. This new legislation marks a huge step in advancing equality between women and men. As part of a broader pay equity program, we’ve begun work to extend our legislation’s well-founded and evidence-based pay equity processes to five private sector employee groups. Government is currently working with the private sector to conduct job evaluations for the following groups: child-care workers; home support workers; nursing home workers; transition home workers; and human service workers in community residences. We also recently announced the “Equality At Work” program. This program seeks to engage employers and the public in general to be active participants in wage gap reduction initiatives. The program has been implemented with a number of New Brunswick organizations. Participants agree to assess their organizational policies and practices, which can have an impact on gender equality in the workplace. Some of these policies include: family-friendly initiatives, employee development, as well as recruitment and retention strategies. The tools included in the “Equality At Work” program will help organizations better understand their workplace profile and areas of strength and opportunity related to organizational practices and culture which encourage “Equality At Work” for all. Employers looking to participate can contact the Wage Gap Reduction Initiative for more information on this program Women have much to offer, and society has much to gain by supporting them in any way we can. More women participating in the workplace, earning equitable pay, taking on leadership roles, and entering non-traditional careers will bring new jobs, and greater investment and prosperity to our province.

I first want to congratulate our female entrepreneurs in the Kennebecasis Valley. It takes courage and specialized skill sets to strike out on your own in today's competitive global market. Over the past decade more women than ever have entered the arena of owned and operated businesses. The fact that so many women, owning businesses in the Valley are thriving in the face of a tough economic climate is cause for celebration. Women generate approximately 40% of new start up businesses in Canada and a large proportion of that innovative and creative energy is in . Despite the successes women, continue to face many challenges. Women owned businesses still have trouble raising capital to start and grow their businesses. There is a higher turn down rate for loans to women business owners. The up shot is that women owned businesses don't have the same access to capital and services that male owned businesses do. Targets need to be set to ensure that women receive a proportionate share of loans and appropriate economic assistance. Programs need to be implemented to support the financing of businesses owned by women. Once again, congratulations and I wish you all continued success.

Reid & Associates Specialty Advertising www.specialtyads.ca 27 Understand The Information On Pet Food Packaging (NC)—It is a pet owner's responsibility to ensure their four-legged family member receives the proper care for a long, happy and healthy life. Regular veterinary visits, exercise and lots of love are key roles in pet parenthood, but one of the most important elements in proper pet care is optimal nutri- tion. For both new and seasoned pet owners, keeping your animal healthy from the inside out means choosing food that has high-quality ingredients and provides balanced nutrition. When deciding what to feed your beloved pet, Dr. Sherry Sanderson BS, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, DACVN, animal nutrition expert and associate profes- sor, University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, recommends you look for the following items on product packaging: • Ingredient Panel: Lists all food sources in order based on their weight, with the ingredient weighing the most being listed first. Ensure that one of the top ingredients listed is a high-quality protein. • Feeding Guidelines: Feeding guidelines on pet food labels are a starting point for the quantity of food to feed to your pet. However, pets are individu- als, so the amount of food listed may not be exactly the quantity required for your pet to maintain an ideal body weight. • Special Ingredients: Many formulas have special ingredients that carry out specific functions.

28 KV Business Directory 2010 What Belongs In Your Shopping Bag? Over 12,000 Canadians Weigh In

(NC)—Pop quiz: What do toilet paper, a trampoline, bread and booze have in common? Answer: They're all among this year's winners of Product of the Year, a consumer-driven award that promotes innovation.

For the past two decades, the Product of the Year title has been the gold standard for consumer-voted product innovation for hundreds of brands worldwide, and late last year it launched in Canada. The first- ever Canadian award winners were announced in January.

The idea behind the award is that because consumers are bombarded with so many choices, sometimes it's difficult for them to get informed on what's new and innovative in the marketplace. As executive program director Sandie Orlando explains it, Product of the Year helps them cut through the clutter. “A positive endorsement from thousands of Canadian consumers sends a powerful message that these are prod- ucts worth trying.” says Orlando. “In a tough economy, when we're all trying to be smarter about how we spend our money, it's helpful to be able to take some of the guesswork out of our shopping experience.” Asha’s Alterations The Product of the Year survey was conducted across Canada last December by global research giant, TNS. A representative sample of Providing High Quality & Prompt Service over 12,000 consumers across Canada voted on products based on All Forms of Alteration including: innovative design, function or packaging. As part of the survey, respon- • Bridal • Light Drapery • Jeans - Original Look dents answer questions on purchasing behavior, attitudes towards inno- • Original Hem • Men’s Clothing • Leather Over vation, and new product preferences. Your satisfaction is our mission 20 years experience Walk-ins Welcomed Orlando explains that Product of the Year winners often reflect prevalent 53 Clark Road, Rothesay consumer trends. By way of example, she points to several winning products in the food and beverage categories that combine innovative 849-7001 flavours with good-for-you ingredients. “This aligns with the significant Mon - Thurs 9am - 6pm consumer interest we're seeing for products that help maintain optimum Fri 9am - 8pm health,” she explains. According to survey respondents, three of the top Sat 9am - 5pm five most important considerations when pur- chasing new products are health-related. Consumers say they're looking for products that are more nutritious, have simple/natural ingredi- ents, and improve health. Inspiring people, ideas and investment Because the award is not limited to a narrow cat- egory, this year's winners include an eclectic mix of food, beverage, hair care, health care, and household products. The inaugural Product of the Year Canada winners are: Axe Shampoos & Conditioner, Baileys with a Hint of Coffee, BlueWater Potato Crunch Fish Fillets, Canada Dry Green Tea Ginger Ale, Dempster's Healthy Way with ProCardio Recipe Bread, Majesta Bathroom Tissue, Mott's Fruitsations Harvest Apple + Calcium, Mott's Fruitsations Pomegranate + Antioxidant, Springfree Trampoline, V8 V-Fusion, and Vivimind tablets.
