REGINA — May 4 to 8 is Economic Development Week, highlighting the work the business sector does to create a thriving economy.
"Our government works with our economic development partners to foster a competitive business environment, attract investment and find new markets for our products and companies," Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said.
"With 60 large-scale projects either in planning or underway, representing $62 billion in investment, our approach is clearly delivering results. We will continue to work to ensure our economy remains the strongest in Canada."
Over the past few years, large investments have been made in the province by international conglomerates such as Louis Dreyfus Company, Sandvik and BHP.
"During Economic Development Week, we celebrate the economic development professionals, community leaders, Indigenous partners and entrepreneurs who are driving opportunity across Saskatchewan," Saskatchewan Economic Development Alliance CEO Verona Thibault said.
"Their collaborative work helps build resilient communities and improves quality of life for residents throughout the province."
The province is also seeing investment in its technology sector. In March, the province and Bell Canada announced plans to construct a new 300 MW data centre near Regina. With a total value of up to $12 billion, the project is forecast to generate short and long-term jobs and tax revenues.
