INVESTMENT P R O F I L E

MAYOR’S MESSAGEWelcome to Yorkton, the third largest trading area in Saskatchewan and a vibrant economic centre of the east-central Saskatchewan region. Yorkton covers a trading area of 1,400 square miles serving more than 150,000 people.

Our growing and diversified economy provides endless opportunities for new businesses and investment. The recent investment of $400 million in two canola crushing plants strengthens our agri-resource based economy. The potential expansion in the potash mining sector within this region will contribute significantly to the growth of our community.

We offer a good business climate for growth and investment with moderate property taxes, incentives for new and expanding businesses, competitive lease rates and land prices. Our business environment is as progressive as it is diverse, with companies in manufacturing, agriculture & food processing, construction, information and culture, plus a wide range of retail services forming the foundation of Yorkton’s economy.

A strong mixed demography, well educated and skilled workforce, healthy employment rate, and

stable commercial, industrial and residential sectors are factors supporting our community’s viability and attractiveness for investment.

Yorkton’s excellent level of educational, healthcare and leisure services, expanding housing sector, competitive business environment, and readily available amenities are just a few of the reasons why Yorkton is one of the best places to live, visit, work, and invest.

Yorkton was featured as one of Alberta Venture Magazine’s Best Communities for Business in the category of “Community on the Rise” for 2012. The pace of economic growth in the past few years and the excellent potential for future growth, particularly in the resource sector, made it possible to receive this distinction.

Our City Council, talented & professional staff and the Committees of Council are dedicated to fostering a strong infrastructure for sustainable economic growth.

We invite you to build your dreams here, a community of endless opportunities.

• The number of people working in Saskatchewan increased by nearly 20,000 in the first nine months of 2013.• Unemployment in Saskatoon and Regina in February 2014 was the lowest in Canada. Saskatchewan

had the lowest seasonally adjusted unemployment rate (3.9%) of all of Canada in December 2013.• The Saskatchewan labour market continues to grow, hitting record levels for the month of February 2014.

There were 573,300 people employed in the province in May, up 12,400 from last year. • Average weekly earnings in the province were $953.92 in January of 2014, the third highest among the

provinces, according to Statistics Canada. Nationally, the average earnings were $924.77.• Saskatoon and Regina are forecast to continue strong economic growth in 2014, at 3.2% and 3.5%,

compared to Edmonton and Calgary at 3.4% and 3.7%.• The provincial government projected economic growth to be 3.6% in December 2013, an increase

of 1% from the 2013-2014 budget. A record crop, higher employment in the province, higher-than-projected personal income, and higher corporate income, all indicate more business investment.

• Saskatchewan residents will save an estimated $6.5 million in 2014 with the continued indexation of the provincial income tax system.

• One of the priorities of the provincial government’s Plan for Growth is to keep taxes competitive. Indexing the income tax system helps Saskatchewan accomplish that priority. By the end of 2014, a family of four with $50,000 income will have saved about $15,000 through various tax reductions by the provincial government.

• A family of four with $50,000 annual income has now seen their provincial income tax cut by more than 90 per cent since 2007 - from about $2,300 in income tax to less than $200 in income tax in 2014 - a savings of more than $2,100 a year.

• Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $18,650 of income while a family of four pays no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $48,320 of income - the highest tax-free income threshold for a family of four in Canada

AGRICULTURE & FOOD PROCESSINGYorkton is rich in agricultural resources and is becoming a food processing centre for east-central Saskatchewan. The two canola oil crushing plants, oat & flax seed processing plants, and a meat processing plant represent significant investment in this area. Both canola oil crushing plants expanded in 2013. Richardson International increased processing capacity at its plant by 25 per cent, from 2,400 tonnes of canola per day to 3,000 tonnes per day. This new expansion means the Yorkton plant has the capacity to process over one million tonnes of canola per year compared to its former 840,000 tonnes annual capacity. The Louis Dreyfus Commodities’ (LDC) plant is also processing over one million tonnes of canola annually. LDC invested over $2 million in a rail car wash facility, rail scale and material storage warehouse for its rolling stock in 2013.

MANUFACTURINGYorkton has over 20 manufacturing businesses. Morris Industries, Leon’s Manufacturing Company, and Ram Industries produce equipment in the agriculture sector and are major exporters, along with the food processing companies. Our manufacturers export their products throughout Canada, the U.S., South Africa, Australia and some European countries. Some of the major products include; agricultural equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, rock-solid material handling equipment including dozer blades, front end loaders, and land scrapers.

SERVICES SECTOROver 1,000 Yorkton businesses not only support the primary, food processing, manufacturing and construction sectors, but also keep the community viable.

Over 400 international immigrants have moved to Yorkton over the past three years. Yorkton is also experiencing an increase in migrants from other Canadian provinces. The increase in the number of international immigrants is diversifying the demography and cultural base of the city. Apart from being a resource for local and regional businesses which are facing labour shortages, the international immigrants have created an opportunity for diversification in food businesses.

The city’s labour market area covers approximately 32,600 square kms (12,587 square miles), 5.1% of Saskatchewan’s total area. A regional labour force of 41,500 is available within this area. This represents about 6% of Saskatchewan’s total population.

Recruitment and training of workers is a primary goal of the community, with strong regional and provincial recruitment strategies underway to attract skilled labour from across Canada and the United States. In addition, planned expansion of the Regional Trades and Technology Centre and curriculum at Parkland College will allow us to meet the needs of new and existing specialized jobs in the community and the region. We are also recruiting professional, trained immigrants through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program, and are working with First Nations groups to train aboriginals to bridge labour market gaps.

The $400m investment in two canola crushing plants (Louis Dreyfus Commodities and Richardson International) in 2009 brought 150+ direct jobs to the community. Both plants have since expanded their operations.

In 2009, Louis Dreyfus Commodities (LDC) started its operation with an annual capacity of 850,000 metric tonnes and brought in 75 new jobs. The plant is now crushing some one million metric tonnes (mt) of canola annually (540,000 mt of meal and 420,000 mt of oil). Recently, LDC has invested over $2m in a rail car wash plus storage bins to increase shipping & storage capacity. The rail car wash facility will be operational in 2014 with a washing capacity of 514 cars annually.

“A very accommodating relationship with the City of Yorkton to work through issues, various permitting and other requirements. It was a pleasure to work with such a talented group of people.” – Brian Conn, Vice President, Canadian Oil Seeds

“Certainly, apart from the proximity to canola growth in one of the

most robust areas of production in the country, strong road and

rail infrastructure to promote movement to and from the facility in Yorkton was one of the primary

reasons of our relocation.” – Darryl Flunder, Manager Procurement

In that same study, 60% of those businesses indicated their sales are increasing while over $3.8 billion is expected to be invested either in expansion or renovations in these businesses in the next few years.

BUSINESS CLIMATEYorkton’s ability to attract new business investment is important in achieving the City’s vision of “becoming a growing, dynamic, regional centre, Where Good Things Happen”. New and expanding businesses are becoming stakeholders in our community, providing job opportunities and generating tax revenue, which contribute to Yorkton’s excellent quality of life.

Our location, business climate, and moderate property taxes and land prices are some of the competitive advantages Yorkton has to attract new investment.

A number of initiatives are planned in 2014 to make Yorkton the best place to do business. These initiatives include:

CREATING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANThe 2014 – 2016 Strategic Economic Development Plan for the City of Yorkton will outline the ways through which the City will organize its available resources to manage current and future economic growth. The Yorkton Economic Development Committee and the Economic Development Department will set the economic priorities for the next three years to pave way for new investment and economic prosperity in the City. The Plan will be finalized in June 2014.

REVAMPING THE ENTERPRISE ZONE INCENTIVE PROGRAMThe Enterprise Zone Incentive Program (EZIP) was introduced in 2005 to establish an Enterprise Zone

to provide development and property improvement incentives. The City wanted to promote economic growth and enhanced development opportunities within the designated Enterprise Zone. The objective was to revitalize and beautify the Enterprise Zone by removing blight, expanding the tax base, and increasing the economic vitality of the Downtown and West Broadway Corridor.

Now, in consultation with the key stakeholders, the City is working on preparing a city-wide incentive program for:

a) Heritage Preservationb) Brownfield Remediationc) Business Creation and Expansion

The new program is intended to promote city-wide development and improvement opportunities through incentives for property owners, developers and businesses.

INITIATIVES FOR 2014 LABOUR MARKET DEVELOPMENTRecent economic growth has led to a labour market shortage in the Yorkton area. The city took the initiative to participate in the National Job Fair & Training Expo in Toronto, Ontario, on April 2nd & 3rd, 2014, to showcase employment opportunities in this region. Apart from working to attract employees at the national and international level through the trade show and other martketing initiatives, the City will also be working with First Nations for the long-term solution to the labour shortage in Yorkton and area. All key stakeholders will be consulted to develop a long range labour market strategy by the end of 2014.
