President’s View

The challenge of small businessStarting a business both a risk and reward for entrepreneurs

Conference on October 19th and 20th. This conference brings thought leaders from Saskatoon and around the world together to identify ways that the business of health can be advanced. There will always be a need for advancement of health research and healthcare delivery, and we believe that Saskatoon can play a key role in this development.

We also congratulate businesses that have found ways to be successful long-term – businesses such as Crestline Coach, featured on our cover.

Despite all of the challenges of entrepreneurship identified above, there are significant rewards to owning your own business. There can be financial benefits and personal benefits (perhaps flexibility in hours), but the number one reward is seeing your idea be successful. There is no greater feeling than seeing someone using your product or benefitting from your service.

I have heard the analogy that business ownership is like running a marathon at a sprinter’s pace. While there may be times you can slow down and grab a water or enjoy the scenery, you always have to be mindful of the competitor coming up behind you or the changing landscape that you need to be prepared for. If you are one of the many people who have taken the step into business ownership, I say congratulations and thank you for all that you do to make our city a better place for all of us. Enjoy the race!

his wife, his money and his home. He spends a period of time on the streets with his son, while trying to hide his current life as he works to land a coveted stock-broker role. Through perseverance, he landed the job and went on to form his own multi-million dollar brokerage firm.

While ending up wildly successful, his first foray into entrepreneurship didn’t come off as planned. He had a good idea but the technology wasn’t different enough from his competitors and the price point was too high, so he couldn’t find the customers.

Now, consider what might have happened if Chris had significant capital or strategic partnerships in place. Perhaps if Chris had the right business partners, he might have been able to take this idea further. Maybe a technology and innovation company could have enhanced the product or found a cheaper way to produce? Maybe they would have invested enough capital to afford to be patient in the marketing? Having a solid business plan that identifies the customer base, the risks, the money required for start-up and the partners and advisors you need is an important part of any business start-up.

Willingness to take a risk – this sounds easy, but this is the hardest part. A business owner starting out is investing their financial resources, their time, the commitment and their passion into the market. It takes a lot of courage to put your idea out there, and then a lot of effort to make your idea become a viable business.

A successful business always starts with the idea. That’s why we at the Chamber are excited about this year’s 2020 Health Vision

Small and medium sized businesses account for 98% of all the businesses in Canada. Defined as having between 5 and 100 employees (small business) and 101 to 499 employees (medium-sized business), small businesses

contribute significant tax revenue, jobs, products, and services to our country. A large number of small businesses start each and every year, and at the same time a great number of them don’t survive the first three years.

So what makes a business “stick”? In my opinion, there are a few critical success factors: a good business idea, a reliable customer base, sufficient capital, strategic partnerships and a willingness to take a risk. Let’s look at these a bit:

#1 is usually the easy part – entrepreneurs begin because they have a passion or see a need in the market. But a good idea on its own isn’t enough.

A few years ago, I had the good fortune of listening to Chris Gardner speak at a conference. Chris had his life featured in the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness”, where his character was played by Will Smith. If you haven’t seen the movie, the short version of the plot is that Gardner invests everything in an idea that doesn’t take off, and he loses

Cover Story

Crestline Coach celebrates 40 years in business

Crestline Coach attributes its success and longevity to its quality employees (Image: Grant Romancia)

By Terri Eger

Crestline Coach was founded in 1975 by three Saskatchewan entrepreneurs eager to prove that they could build a superior ambulance. With the belief that Emergency Medical Services would come into its own and become an integral part of the health care system, Crestline’s founders wanted to revolutionize the industry by creating an organization that manufactured the best ambulances in the world through a focus on safety, innovation and durability.

“The evolution of ambulances has greatly changed since the early 1970s. Originally, ambulances were designed primarily of wood, including cabinetry and flooring,” explained Scott Sawatsky, Director of Sales and Marketing. “The ambulance of today is much different with aluminum and composite materials which make the vehicle lighter and stronger than ever before. Forty years ago there were few safety regulations and little emphasis on medic and patient comfort. Today, ambulances are constructed to meet provincial and national regulations. Our innovative build goes above and beyond with an ergonomic fit which purposely focuses on reducing potential injury for the medic while enhancing safety and comfort for both the medic and patient.”

Today, Crestline is proud to be recognized worldwide as an industry leader and continues to refine and advance its core products: ambulances, medical equipment, parts, and specialty vehicles, and expanding into the commercial bus markets. It’s also been no secret that critical to Crestline’s success are their employees whose sole focus is the customer.

“Our people take pride in what they do and are tremendously committed to ensuring the company maintains its leadership position in the industry,” Crestline’s President & CEO, Steve Hoffrogge shares with us. “That’s the real secret to our success.”

With employees having a clear understanding

of Crestline’s broad capabilities, they are empowered and inspired to think outside the box which promotes a culture of creativity, passion and innovation.

Hoffrogge attributes the longevity of the business to its ability to meet the evolving needs of their customers. “Crestline’s success has been and continues to be built around the quality associates who call Crestline their professional home,” said Hoffrogge.

Crestline continues to grow, with more than 175 employees across Canada and the United States, with a client focus remaining stronger than ever.

“We pride ourselves on the concept that ‘winners pick winners’,” explained Hoffrogge. “We have long standing customers and employees who are winners in their fields. For us to grow and expand we have to attract good people and we are doing that.”

Fundamental to future prosperity is Crestline’s ability to compete. “Since our primary focus is on the customer, we constantly ask ourselves, how do we best fulfill their evolving needs in the most economical way?”

This spurred a new course of action in 2013 when Crestline implemented the Lean Initiative. The initiative was designed to further advance Crestline’s safety, quality, and delivery processes by problem solving to eliminate root causes and waste. Crestline

has seen vast improvements in each area and continues to invest in Lean Initiatives which are strengthening their competitive advantage. As Crestline continues to improve the lives of their customers they are gaining major market shares in both the Canadian and International markets. Their reputation as a world class manufacture has inspired business from all parts of the world, including a recent visit and contract with The Saudi National Guard-Health Affairs. To date, Crestline has

exported product to more than 30 countries worldwide.

“The quality and durability of our vehicle design makes it attractive to our customers,” said Hoffrogge.

Each Crestline ambulance design is

specifically created by a team of engineers; each vehicle goes through vigorous testing both by the company and an independent third-party, ensuring Crestline puts out the safest and most durable product possible.

“Our focus is ensuring our customers receive the top quality products they need in their business. We ensure they extract as much value out of their purchase as possible.”

To say New Tide Laser Tattoo Removal is a leader in the industry is an understatement. With limited devices of its kind in tattoo shops in the country, the Saskatoon business is on the cutting edge of laser tattoo removal technology.

Using a Quanta Q-plus C three wave-length laser that was designed, engineered and imported from Italy, owner Brad Friesen has the ability to remove unwanted artwork in a matter of minutes.

“There is a massive demographic of people with tattoos who aren’t happy,” said Friesen. “With this equipment I have the ability to fix mistakes, clean things up in preparation for a custom cover-up or do a complete removal in many cases.”

While laser removal itself isn’t new, the technology used in this system is. Tattoo ink is found in three levels according to colour. Using a three wave-length laser, Friesen has the ability to remove ink on the complete colour spectrum, including the darkest blacks which are found on the deepest layer. By removing the black ink completely he is often left with an area where the client is happy to have a new tattoo applied. In addition, the square laser allows the technician to pinpoint the treatment without overlapping the way round lasers did in the past.

“The procedure is quick as the energy is concentrated,” he said. “Treatments are usually between two and 20 minutes.”

Location of the tattoo, density of the ink and age of the tattoo are all factors which can determine the number of treatments required. Sessions can range from as few as two treatments to prepare the area for a cover-up or as many as 12 treatments for a full tattoo removal. The laser is paired with a chilling unit that applies cold air to the area being treated, minimizing swelling and pain, something Friesen has experienced personally in the past.

“You used to have to travel far and wide and suffer a lot of pain to have a tattoo removed,” he said. “Now that’s not the case.”

New Tide has a positive relationship with

other reputable tattoo shops in the city and is happy to remove unwanted ink in preparation for new artwork at the shop of the client’s choice.

“It’s cutting edge technology and we are in the perfect position to offer the service,” said Friesen. “We are leaders in the industry and are really motivated to provide our clients with quality care.”

Friesen is not new to the tattoo business. He and his wife Jenlee, an accomplished tattoo artist in her own right, opened Red Tide Tattoo Company on 8th Street last September. After travelling for a number of years with his previous employer, the family decided to make a lifestyle change and open their own business.

“We have the best, established artists in the city,” Friesen said of the team of four tattoo artists including his wife who works in the shop.

With the new division of the parent company opening up, Friesen is excited about what New Tide can offer to the people of Saskatoon.

“Clients are continually asking about tattoo removal and we want to do it right,” he said. “With the right equipment and the proper training we are set to be leaders in the industry.”

The health industry worldwide is worth $7 trillion and growing. Former CEO of Saskatoon’s MD Ambulance service, Dave Dutchak, reports that “44 cents of every tax dollar raised in Saskatchewan is spent on health care: Why not make us great” in the industry?

The Saskatoon Chamber sponsored 2020 Health Vision Conference, to be held Oct. 19-20 at the Western Development Museum and sponsored by Saskatchewan Blue Cross, offers a unique opportunity to consider how Saskatoon can achieve that.

The conference will be the sixth since its inception in 2000 and is co-chaired by Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce and Board of Directors members Dutchak, Sanj Singh (CEO, AdeTherapeutics and Board Member, BIOTECanada) and Chamber participant, Corey Miller (VP, Integrated Health Services, Saskatoon Health Region). Singh says that the conference will explore how Saskatoon can leverage its world class assets and networks to provide products, services and solutions to this ever growing health market. And, in so doing, the event can raise our position as an international health leader from “good” to “great.”

Singh observes that in the past biotechnology has outperformed the sectors of real estate, oil and gas. Locally, such biotechnology has been developed at numerous institutions, including the CLS Synchrotron and the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation. Co-chair Miller adds that both of these exist “within 400 metres of the city’s academic teaching hospital (RUH)”: The opportunities are “incredible.” And in the “next 10 years” in Saskatoon, as co-chair Singh observes, “20 high-tech companies employing 200 forward thinking workers could translate into $30 million in payroll” for the city and “a further $300 million to $3 billion in economic spinoffs for Saskatchewan.”

Of the opportunity, Miller comments: “If we can optimize the business side of scientific progress, not just develop the technology for others, but be the first to market it, we will have huge demand.”

Miller identifies two unique areas of growth

Chamber Events

2020 Health Vision Conference “Getting to Great”, October 19th and 20th

for Saskatoon’s health industry: a seniors’ strategy, since by 2034, “the population of [Saskatoon] residents aged 75 or older will nearly double”; and technological innovation, in which we need to create and leverage synergies between three crucial sectors. They are: research and applied health sciences, government leadership and the investment sector. Across these sectors, Miller emphasizes, it is crucial to create a “common vision” of the direction in which the future market is going, in order to lead the industry’s work and to promote investment.

Speaking on the opportunity and importance of health innovation to our economy and community will be experts Brian Bloom of Bloom Burton Investment Banking (Toronto); and Jason Ding, Director of the TEC Health Accelerator (Edmonton). Medical keynote speakers will include Dr. David Delaney, Chief Medical Office of SAP and former U of S graduate in Medicine; Neurologist Dr. Muhammed Shazam Hussain, Head of the Cleveland Clinic Stroke Program, and creator of the first mobile stroke program in the US; and Saskatoon Neurosurgeon Dr. Ivar Mendez, who performed the first brain implant surgery in Canada and pioneered treatments for Parkinson’s Disease (U of S).

Also speaking will be the Honourary Conference Chair, Saskatoon geriatrician and innovator, and Saskatchewan Medication Association’s Physician of the Year, Dr. Jenny Basran (U of S).

Co-chair Dutchak’s

company, MD Ambulance, was publicly managed and privately owned from 1976 to 2015. He, Miller and Singh emphasize that such shared relationships of public and private health management have existed for years and are growing.

They say that we need to set aside old fears of transforming the public health system, as we seek business opportunities as innovators, investors, leaders and workers: “If we keep on working together,” Dutchak says, “we will lead the world.”

Group Benefits with a Difference. Simple. Stable. Smart.

Laddie JamesGeneral Manager, Hairstyle Inn Salons

Sutton Financial Group hosted its 25th anniversary celebration on September 10th at their office location.

An additional thank you to the generous sponsors of the event: Manulife Securities, The Great West Life Assurance Company, Saskatchewan Blue Cross, Johnston Group, Prairie Graphics Inc. and The Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan.

Sutton Financial Group was founded by Bob Sutton in 1990. The firm was started on the premise of providing objective and reliable advice to clients in the pursuit of their financial security and peace of mind. Bob believed that if you treated people with respect

and always put their interests first then the business would be a success. Bob retired in December 2014 and the business successfully transitioned to the next generation and his legacy at Sutton Financial Group is carried on by the current partners with the same values and passion. Sutton Financial Group’s purpose is to inspire their clients to greater life fulfillment, so their clients are able to impact their world in a meaningful way.

The firm provides expert advice in financial planning, benefits & pension and personal development.

The approach is distinguished by three unique and important stages that illustrate their philosophy of serving clients throughout the stages of their life and business while building authentic success.

Over the past 25 years, Sutton Financial Group has grown and developed their own team which

has quadrupled in size since the firm began in 1990. The services offered have also expanded beyond financial planning to meet the needs of their clients. The firm has relationships with many key providers, including representing The Chambers Group Insurance Plan for the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce. They celebrate their impact in the community through their establishment of a legacy fund providing significant benefits for youth in Saskatoon & area and they continue to deliver random acts of kindness and volunteer with their Pay It Forward initiatives.

“We all have dreams and great potential in us, and with a plan and a guide, we can accomplish our goals and reach new heights,” says Jay Stark, President of Sutton Financial Group.

Five Minutes for Business

Wouldn’t it be great to join a free trade agreement with 12 countries in the world’s fastest growing region—one that covers 40% of the world’s GDP and one-third of global trade?

The Peterson Institute for International Economic estimates that by 2025, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) could boost Canadian incomes by an additional $10 billion per year and raise global incomes by $295 billion per year. Given our challenge with exports and a slowing economy, who wouldn’t want that?

However, the problem is that TPP is very ambitious. It would be the largest regional

trade deal ever and would set a new standard for what trade agreements cover.

One of the fundamental challenges of trade agreements is that it’s easy to point to the industries or companies that struggle with new competition because they’re so vocal. We hear a lot less about who will benefit and who will gain new export deals five years into the future. Canada’s trade with the United States has quadrupled since we signed NAFTA, but nobody could have predicted which companies would flourish.

Some benefits are clear: the high import tariffs paid by Canadian exporters of meat, grain, oil seeds, seafood and certain forest

products will drop significantly.

Over 65% of Canada’s agricultural exports go to TPP countries. The TPP could double beef sales to Japan.

But for other industries, tariffs aren’t a big deal because they’re already low after years of trade liberalization. For them, the big barriers to trade come from a complicated web of regulations and red tape, like inconsistent customs procedures or regulations that don’t let companies send business data back to

Canada. Companies are also worried about risks to their investments and intellectual property

and about having to compete with companies that have an unfair advantage because of subsidies or weak environmental and labour standards. By tackling these problems, the TPP will significantly improve the business environment for Canadian financial services, manufacturing, natural resources and high-tech companies.

The stakes are even higher because the 12 members of TPP are just the beginning. Everyone hopes the TPP will expand, bringing in countries like the Philippines South Korea, Thailand and, eventually, China. An expanded membership would boost Canadian incomes by $26 billion and global incomes by $1.9 trillion annually. With all these massive traders, the TPP would be the new rulebook for global commerce.

That’s why we were so excited about last week’s meeting in Maui. The TPP could have been the biggest trade agreement sealed anywhere in the world in the past 20 years. But the deal failed to close because of disagreements, notably on dairy, sugar, automobiles and pharmaceuticals.

We shouldn’t point fingers because every country has its sensitive areas. And it’s harder for politicians, particularly now that Canada and the United States are going into election season.

That’s why it’s more important than ever that Canadian business and Canada’s chambers of commerce raise their voices to say that free trade will help us win more deals, make us wealthier and help us create better, higher-paying jobs. Our future depends on it, so let’s keep trying.

When Canadians go to the polls on October 19, they will chart the course for Canada moving forward. We all want to ensure Canada remains strong and competitive in this fast-changing world. We want to see our economy grow and we want more jobs for Canadians. The outcome of this election will be central to ensuring we have a rising and sustainable standard of living and a strong economy that is able to generate the wealth we need to provide for our aging population and the social programs we cherish.

The challenge, today, is that we are racing against the greatest competitors in the world’s toughest marathon—the global economy—and are losing ground to the frontrunners. Ten years ago, we were the world’s 10th largest exporter. Today, we rank 13th. In 2014, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada 15th in global economic competitiveness; down five spots from 2009.

The question we are faced with is: how do we stop this decline and turn things around to bring Canada back to the front of the pack? The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is calling on political parties to engage with businesses and commit to practical solutions and actions in the four areas that are critical to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy:

1. Access to a powerful workforceCanada’s competitiveness will depend, in

large part, on its ability to find and foster workers with the skills businesses need to succeed. The shortage of skilled workers is making it impossible to meet the rising needs of many sectors. We need to better align skills development with immigration policy goals. We must also fix the increasingly complex and costly immigration system currently in place, allowing employers to find workers with the skill sets needed for them to compete in the new global marketplace.

The Canadian Chamber calls on all parties to commit to:

• Investing in more and better labour

market information• Ensuring immigration changes stop

unduly limiting employers’ access to the international talent they need

• Addressing the serious processing issues and inflexible features of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program that are negatively affecting employers’ access to workers in a range of sectors

• Providing incentives for employers to offer more post-secondary co-op placements and internships

• Creating a financial incentive for employers to retain employees through to the completion of their apprenticeship training

2. Access to capitalCapital is the oxygen that enables businesses

to grow, create more jobs and export to new markets. For start-up companies, access to capital is the difference between life and death as they move from the early stages of innovation to the commercialization of products and services. Canadian start-up companies often depend upon venture capital (VC) as the lifeblood needed to take an idea to the market. Yet Canada’s VC industry is still small and punching below its weight, particularly when compared to the U.S. In fact, many top Canadian companies and entrepreneurs look to investors and early adopters outside of Canada for funding. In addition to building up our VC industry, we must do more to attract international capital and foreign VCs.

More incentives, a more supportive regulatory environment and a streamlined tax system are essential to our international competitiveness. Canadian and global companies must be encouraged to conduct leading-edge R&D in Canada.


• Introducing better tax incentives for venture capital and angel investors

• Changing regulations to encourage insurance companies and pension

plans to invest a modest part of their funds in venture capital

• Forming an impartial panel of experts to review the tax system and recommend measures to simplify Canada’s tax system

• Increasing the income threshold for the (11%) small business tax rate to $1,000,000 from $500,000 to encourage small companies to continue growing

• Simplifying the Capital Cost Allowance rules from 52 separate asset classes to a few broad categories

3. Access to technology and innovationIn an era of big data and Internet-driven

machines and objects, speed and bandwidth are paramount, and digital infrastructure is a key factor for global companies when making investment decisions. Although Canada has enjoyed world-leading connectivity and tools, it is essential that even greater investment be made in this area as our rivals deploy new technologies that enable their domestic firms to innovate and compete.

Canadian firms are struggling to adopt the advanced technologies that can vastly improve their productivity. For example, just 6% of firms in Canada are harnessing technologies to allow them to better monitor their production and distribution processes, and in a recent poll http://www.kpmg.com/Ca/en/topics/C-Suite/currentcsuite/c-suite-presentation-q4-2013-dec-16-tc.pdf) just 22% of executives said they are using the key metrics in data analytics as a tool to better understand product cycles and the real value of their own innovations.

Federal policy support for innovation in Canada is largely focused on primary research led by postsecondary institutions. The support provided to innovative academic research also needs to focus on marketplace needs and ensure the intellectual property that results from these efforts can lead to commercialization.

The Canadian Chamber calls on all parties

Canadian Chamber of Commerce

What businesses need from the Canadian GovernmentThe national election platform from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce


to commit to:• Providing incentives to move ideas

from mind to market, such as an “innovation box” regime in Canada that would see any sales/revenues earned on a patent or a new technology developed here in Canada taxed at a much lower rate

• Investing in digital infrastructure (networks and switching required to handle the volumes of next generation data transfer) and rewarding private sector investment driven by profit motives

• Providing incentives that encourage collaboration through technology clusters or centres of excellence

4. Access to marketsAs part of a small, open economy,

most of Canada’s businesses depend on international trade. Exports, imports and foreign investment create and sustain jobs in our communities, stimulate competition and innovation and give families affordable choices in the marketplace. Canada is also privileged to possess rich natural resources that support millions of jobs in fisheries and in the mining, petroleum, forest products and electricity sectors. Demand for our resources contributes substantially to our national economy and is the underpinning of our trade relationships, especially with the fast developing economies of Asia.

Despite new trade agreements and a renewed commitment to trade promotion, Canadian companies continue to face more trade barriers than their foreign competitors—both within and outside Canada. Last year, Stephen Poloz, Governor of the Bank of Canada, pointed out that Canada has fewer international companies than it did before the 2008 financial crisis. While the U.S. and Australia have more or less doubled their exports of goods and services over the past 10 years, Canada’s have grown by only 40%.(source: World Trade Organization) Canadian companies that are globally active still tend to be focused in mature markets with low rates of economic growth. The tourism industry is similarly losing ground to more aggressive nations, costing communities in every part of the country.

Finally, our ability to develop our resource

advantage is being undermined by limited and aging export infrastructure, shortages in the skilled workforce and an inefficient regulatory environment in areas such as the duty to consult Aboriginal peoples and environmental assessment requirements.


• Continuing an ambitious free trade agenda by concluding and implementing bilateral agreements in Europe and Asia, while pushing forward regional and multilateral trade talks

• Launching a national regulatory cooperation strategy that will mobilize resources and political attention to tackle internal trade barriers and enhance alignment with Canada’s trading partners

• Strengthening export and tourism promotion services by improving coordination between the private and public sectors, expanding marketing campaigns and diplomatic presence abroad and establishing a national development finance institution

• Investing in transportation infrastructure and improving Canada’s border services and visa administration to make it easier for businesses to get their products in and out of Canada

• Ensuring stringent but streamlined regulatory processes for the extraction and transportation of natural resources

• Supporting policies that will

stimulate innovations in environmental sustainability and ensure a supply of skilled workers to help Canada meet the demands for its natural resource industries

These measures are the best way to enable Canadian business to compete and win in the global economy. Investing in our economy is the only way to create great jobs for young people, develop new technologies right here at home and produce the wealth that pays for the education, infrastructure, health care and the other advantages we value as Canadians.

5th annual Huskie Tailgate Party

Growth and expansion seems to be the theme for Crestline with their bus division rapidly increasing market share and even developing its own standing as Canada’s National Bus Dealer for small & mid-sized vehicles. Representing the top manufactures in the industry, Crestline offers premium choices for healthcare, transit, shuttle, tour and charter needs.

Over the past decade, Crestline has witnessed an exciting transition in the Specialty Vehicle market. New opportunities and dramatic changes have been spurred by the rising demand of the EMS community and their need to provide patients with immediate access to health care services. This initiative has refreshed and reenergized Crestline’s approach to product solutions. The demand for diversified and specialized vehicles has opened the gates for endless product solutions such as multi-patient emergency response vehicles, neonatal and bariatric units, patient simulator labs used for training, mobile health clinics and blood mobiles, cancer education and screening units. With Crestline’s unique product approach, there is no limit to product solutions and services.

With safety, innovation and durability remaining at the forefront of their business, Crestline is determined to continue exceeding and inspiring today’s industry standards. Just last month, Crestline once again advanced the industry by unveiling a next generation ambulance at the EMS World Expo in Las Vegas. The industry witnessed how Crestline is once again revolutionizing the future of ambulances! September also marked Crestline’s 10,000th ambulance delivery, a milestone to underscore their 40th anniversary in business.

“The best is yet to come in how we design and manufacture the best vehicles to meet the ever changing needs of the market,” said Hoffrogge.

To learn more about Crestline Coach, visit www.crestlinecoach.com or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube.

On Friday, September 18th, the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce proudly presented the Huskie Tailgate Party and BBQ in support of Huskie football with a salute to our soldiers, sponsored by Conexus Credit Union. In what has become an annual tradition, the event featured a BBQ (Sponsored by the Concorde Group) with proceeds to the “Soldier On” Fund – a charity which provides financial aid to injured and disabled individuals from the armed forces.

A special thanks goes out to Saskatoon Media Group for sponsoring the live entertainment by Idyll Wild playing on the Conexus Free Stage.

Staying motivated to go to the gym isn’t easy but it’s a habit Barry Flynn has kept up for 25 years. What keeps him coming back to YWCA Fitness on 25th? Quite simply, it’s the people.

“The quality of people that work out there, and the fact that the staff is as nice as the guests, make it a great place to go,” said Flynn, who became a member of the club in 1991 and still works out at the facility almost every day.

A high quality, clean environment filled with friendly people who welcome each other creates an atmosphere that clients want to return to, according to Flynn.

With patrons of all ages, the gym has a sense of family that Flynn can connect to personally.

“I actually met my wife Suzanne at the gym years ago and now our son will come and shoot hoops while I work out,” he said.

Seeing senior members working out is also an inspiration for Flynn. As the owner of Ultimo Euromoda and Elwood Flynn Ltd

clothing stores, he finds additional motivation to keep in good condition.

“I have a good reputation with a lot of high profile athletes in town and want to stay in shape so I have credibility in selling slim cut clothing,” he said. “I want to be able to wear what I sell.”

As a high level tennis player, Flynn models his workout on Tennis Canada’s, which stresses endurance rather than bulk. In a regular 55 to 70 minute session Flynn will do

sit-ups, push-ups, pull-downs for his stomach, and forearm pull-downs, and spend time on the preacher’s bench, lift weights, bench press, back press and lap machine.

“I’m a tennis player and want to work at good endurance rather than putting on bulk,” he said. While maintaining body strength, Flynn is also conscious of preventing injury and strain on his muscles and joints.

Internal motivation aside, the location and convenience of the Y are important to Flynn who works downtown, a short distance from the

facility. However, there is much more than

convenience that keeps him coming back. “The atmosphere and the quality of people around the facility are second to none in the city,” he said. “It’s a welcoming place to walk into.”

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) is once again being feted for its commitment to fair-trade products and practices.

The organization was named Fairtrade Retailer of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Fairtrade Awards Sept. 17 in Toronto. FCL also won the award for Excellence in Merchandising at the gala.

This is the fourth consecutive year FCL has been celebrated at the event, which is held annually by Fairtrade Canada, a non-profit organization that provides certification for fair-trade products.

“Co-op understands what it means to do business differently,” said Ron Welke, Associate Vice-President Food, FCL. “We are providing customers with choices that they can be confident in; ones which allow them to support both their local community and producers around the globe.”

Fair-trade certification is given to products that are responsibly produced with an eye to fair compensation for farmers, sustainable agriculture and ethical labour practices.

Dozens of fair-trade products are available at retail co-ops. They span 12 brands across three categories — coffee, chocolate and ice cream. Two Co-op Gold Fairtrade Chocolate Bars were launched in 2014, and more will be added next year.

The Co-operative Retailing System of more than 210 independent co-ops marked Fairtrade Month in May with a multi-pronged campaign in flyers and on coopfood.ca. Twenty-three retail co-ops welcomed in-store displays and demonstrations, while more than 60 participating Co-op Gas Bars held a Fairtrade Coffee Day promotion.
