Canada: country guest of honor
Solid business value proposition
Those who do business in Winnipeg will
agree that there is a high level of business
cooperation and collaboration. This is demonstrated not only by the level of support
for organizations such as the CIC, but also
through the development of organizations
such as YES! Winnipeg, a private-sector
business support network committed to
helping Winnipeg-based business, and businesses relocating or expanding to the city
succeed. YES! Winnipeg offers support by
leveraging connections within the business
community.

And Winnipeg is growing
New and existing businesses are investing in
the city to take advantage of its:
Low cost of doing business: Winnipeg
boasts the lowest overall cost of business
in Western Canada, Midwestern US, and
Pacific US, according to the 2012 KPMG
Competitive Alternatives study. Due in
large part to the low cost of energy, land,
and labour, Winnipeg’s costs are 5.2% lower
than the average cost of running a business
in the US. In addition, Winnipeg-based
businesses benefit from effective government programmes, government covered
health care, the lowest overall tax rate in the
G7 (33% lower corporate taxes than the
US), and Canada/Manitoba’s combined
R&D tax incentive programme, which is
one of the most generous in the industrialized world.

airport which offers 24/7 operations and
its worldwide freight forwarding is ranked
number one in Canada for dedicated
freighter aircraft movements.
Strong and diversified
economy: Manitoba’s economy continues
to see steady growth thanks to the diversity of its economy. Being built on 10 key
industry sectors helps to mitigate swings
in the economy and provide consistency,
predictability and control for businesses.
Strategic location: Winnipeg is the geographic centre of North America, one hour
from Western Canada’s busiest US border
crossing and within a 24-hour drive to a
population of 100 million. Located at the
hub of five major continental and global
transportation routes (Mid-Continent
Trade Corridor, Asia-Pacific Gateway, Great
Lakes/St. Lawrence/Europe, Arctic Gateway, and the East- West Canada Corridor),
the city also provides easy access to the Port
of Churchill and marine access to and from
global markets.
20 acres (8 hectares) in size, CentrePort
Canada, North America’s newest inland
port industrial development located near
the centre of the city, offers businesses
single window access to foreign trade zone

Energy advantage: Manitoba produces an
abundance of clean and renewable energy
with 98% of Winnipeg’s energy being
hydroelectric. Winnipeg businesses benefit
from one of the most reliable electrical grids
with the lowest published rates in North
America.
Transportation services: Winnipeg is a
tri-modal transportation hub with excellent
services in truck, rail and air. Headquarters
to five of the 20 largest trucking firms in
North America, one of only two Canadian
cities to have three Class 1 rail carriers (CN,
CP, BNSF) in operation, Winnipeg is also
home to an award-winning international

benefits.
Highly skilled, diverse, available and
loyal workforce: Winnipeg’s employees are
high-quality, due in large part to advanced
education and training systems. Combined, the city’s post-secondary institutions have an annual enrolment of more
than 55,000 students and produce 11,000
graduates each year. The diversity of the
city’s workforce (over 100 languages are
spoken) is fuelled by domestic increases as
well as through immigration via the highly
acclaimed Provincial Nominee Programme
which added 13,000 skilled employees into
the workforce in 2009 alone. And Winnipeg’s workforce is not only skilled and
diverse; it is loyal.
Excellent quality of life: Part of what drives
the loyalty of workers in Winnipeg and its
healthy unemployment rate of 5% is the
excellent quality of life the city offers. This
includes an affordable cost of living and
lifestyle, world-class arts and culture, festivals and events, as well as accessible lakes,
beaches and cottage country. Moreover,
most inhabitants commute to work in 20
minutes or less. Because of its affordability,
and the availability and accessibility of so
many opportunities which help individuals
enjoy life, recruiters agree… Winnipeg is
