SASKATCHEWAN INSTITUTE 2012–17 MAY 2017 Ready, Set, Grow SASKATCHEWAN INSTITUTE 2012–17 MAY 2017 Ready, Set, Grow. The interactivity really reinforced the point that “ innovation is not about reinventing, but about the creative process—learning and creativity demand we move beyond thinking to doing.” Event participant, Indigenous Health Innovations The Conference Board of Canada Message From the President and CEO Saskatchewan has a storied history as a leader in Canada. Some stories are well-known: the first province to introduce comprehensive medical insurance and the first to establish an arts board in North America. The province has also led on innovation fronts. Examples include being home to Canada’s only synchrotron, operating the first automated teller machine in the nation, and building the world’s first heavy oil upgrader. When leaders from the province and The Conference Board of Canada envisioned the Saskatchewan Institute in 2012, the province was Canada’s economic leader, but one facing challenges and opportunities. For the next five years, the Saskatchewan Institute (SKI) brought the Conference Board’s full program of research and evidence to bear on key questions affecting future growth. A balance of pragmatic and timely economic, social, and human resource insights was collaboratively developed and published. We combined our quantitative economic analysis tools and skills with our organizational performance and public policy expertise. Additionally, we utilized the Conference Board’s unparalleled capacity to bring together leaders from all sectors of Saskatchewan, Canada, and from around the world. Our meetings, conferences, and presentations produced engaging dialogue on the choices and decisions facing Saskatchewan’s future. Although the work of SKI is now complete, there exists a wealth of information that will serve as a synthesis of five years of insights. In addition, the Conference Board remains watchful of Saskatchewan as an incubator of innovative policy that often lays the groundwork for broader national discussion. We are proud of the work achieved through our partnerships in Saskatchewan and will continue to offer insights, understanding, and impact for the future. Daniel Muzyka President and CEO The Conference Board of Canada 1 Saskatchewan InstitUte 2012–17 Goals of the Saskatchewan Institute The Saskatchewan Institute (SKI) brought together the Conference Board’s full range of expertise in economic analysis and forecasting, public policy research, and organizational performance. During its five-year mandate, SKI published research and informed decision-making on three foundational themes: • development of people • management of growth • assessment of key sectors Simply stated, the Conference Board’s goal for SKI was to contribute to a shared vision of sustainable prosperity. To accomplish that goal, the Institute’s initial consultative group prioritized cross-cutting themes for further study in the following areas: • workforce of the future and Indigenous engagement • education, health care, and immigration • infrastructure, cities, and housing • natural resources and water management • Saskatchewan’s economic outlook 2 The Conference Board of Canada Based on this mandate (see Exhibit 1), SKI undertook a series of events, activities, and research.

Discusses the very important “ issue of Aboriginal-business partnerships in Canada.” Online research report comment 4 The Conference Board of Canada Our Insights, Understanding, Impact Research People strategies were a consistent area of valued-added research. There remains no single strategy or action that will solve Saskatchewan’s human resource challenge. The following areas were explored during the five-year mandate: the full engagement of Indigenous people; active and employment-focused immigration policies; attracting and retaining more international students as prime sources of new talent; growing public and private investment in advanced and applied education; encouraging older workers to remain employed longer; and rethinking business operations by concentrating on core functions within the province. Saskatchewan’s economic growth remains driven by large-scale resource projects with long-term investment horizons that depend on funding sources such as public equity and bond markets and foreign direct investment. Financiers require sensible and stable policies on royalties, taxes, and foreign direct investment to ensure a reasonable rate of return. Strategic choices continue to be required as the need for capital continues to transform and expand. Collaboration Public and collaborative policy was highlighted as critical to a strong future for the province. As was a focus on innovation—one that ensures business and government are constantly adapting their policies, systems, and practices toward supportive environments for collaboration. In addition, a sustaining and welcoming environment for private investment is required, led by tax reform and smarter regulation, which would help ensure adequate access to private investment capital. Acceleration of efforts to invest and build public infrastructure must keep pace with the growth in population to sustain and maintain societal expectations. 5 Saskatchewan InstitUte 2012–17 Top Publications Research With Saskatchewan Content/Issue Media Coverage Downloads 1 1 Fuel for Thought: The Economic Fuel for Thought: The Economic Benefits Benefits of Oil Sands Investment for of Oil Sands Investment for Canada’s Canada’s Regions (October 2012) Regions (October 2012) 2 2 Mapping the Long-Term Options for Understanding the Value and Canada’s North: Telecommunications Opportunities of Engaging Métis, Inuit, and Broadband Connectivity and First Nations Workers (July 2012) (August 2013) 3 3 Canada as a Global Leader: The Future of Mining in Canada’s North Delivering Value Through Public-Private (January 2013) Partnerships at Home and Abroad (August 2013) 4 Canada as a Global Leader: Delivering Value Through Public-Private Partnerships at Home and Abroad (August 2013) 5 Framing Sustainable Options for Housing in Canada’s North (December 2012) 6 The Conference Board of Canada Primary Research Produced Through SKI Media Coverage Downloads 1 1 Understanding the Value and Understanding the Value and Opportunities of Engaging Métis, Inuit, Opportunities of Engaging Métis, Inuit, and First Nations Workers (July 2012) and First Nations Workers (July 2012) 2 2 Green Machine: Financing Growth in the Realizing the Potential: Priority New Saskatchewan (June 2013) Investments in Saskatchewan’s First Nations and Métis People (September 2013) 3 3 Healthy Foundations: Nursing’s Role in The Influence of Immigrants on Trade Building Strong Aboriginal Communities Diversification in Saskatchewan (March 2015) (April 2013) 4 Green Machine: Financing Growth in the New Saskatchewan (June 2013) 5 Addressing Chronic Diseases: The Regina Food Bank (August 2012) 7 Saskatchewan InstitUte 2012–17 Highlights by the Numbers Produced Connected with 35 research over 1,100 event reports and briefings participants Nearly 12,000 SKI leadership downloads of and researchers Saskatchewan or delivered over 75 SKI research to date 75 presentations at conferences, meetings, and events Engaged 22 separate 22 organizations as investor partners 36 articles published in SaskBusiness Magazine Hosted 9 conferences and events 8 The Conference Board of Canada Produced material that seriously focused on the education gap “ [in Saskatchewan] and what effect bridging it will have on both the economic and social aspects of both Saskatchewan First Nations and Métis, and for Saskatchewan as well.” Raj Maharaj, commenting on research 9 Saskatchewan InstitUte 2012–17 The report takes a fresh look … by considering the “ broad role of corporations in creating social benefits, including long-term economic health and well-being.

  • 'Saskatchewan's Top Employers'
    Draft: Jan. 22, 2018 ‘A little fun goes a long way’ say winners of this year’s ‘Saskatchewan’s Top Employers’ competition REGINA, January 24, 2018 – Your grade-school teacher may have warned that ‘All work and no play make Jack a dull boy’ – but it might be a surprise to learn that the same maxim also applies to employers. That’s the message from this year’s Saskatchewan’s Top Employers, announced today by the organizers of the Canada’s Top Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc. Of course, the best employers have the bases covered when it comes to traditional HR policies like vacation allowance and time-off, retirement planning, training and health benefits. But a healthy balance of work and play is also a defining feature of the 2018 winners of the Saskatchewan’s Top Employers competition, announced today in a special magazine in the Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix. Whether it’s holiday parties, offsite retreats or attending Saskatchewan Roughriders and Saskatoon Blades games, this year’s winners understand that a little fun goes a long way toward cultivating a workplace culture that promotes collaboration and teamwork. “Organizations that help employees connect on a deeper, more personal level have a strong sense of community, says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, which manages the competition. “Most employers that we review are covering all the bases when it comes to traditional HR policies that help people develop in their careers. But the very best of these employers are also paying attention to a fundamental human need for their staff to interact and meet other people – and this sensibility often translates into high levels of engagement among employees.” “As people’s lives get busier, it becomes difficult to make new friendships,” adds Anthony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp.
