This morning, EDR’s Karlie McGeough joined CTV News to discuss the recent buzz surrounding our “Break Up With Your City” talent attraction campaign – and why it’s resonating with people across the country.

At its core, the campaign highlights what life in Regina can look like: greater affordability, shorter commutes, meaningful career opportunities, and a stronger sense of balance and community.

It's about putting Regina on the map – showcasing it as a place to put down roots and highlighting what’s possible here.

It’s Economic Development Week – so let’s get back to basics.

Economic development can sound complex – but at its core, it’s simple. It’s about building a strong economy that supports good jobs, helps businesses grow, and makes a city a place where people want to live and stay.

Most of the time, it doesn’t happen all at once, it happens quietly. Through conversations with businesses long before they expand, partnerships that bring activity into the city, supporting entrepreneurs as they take their next step, and through the steady work of attracting talent and planning for what’s ahead.

That’s where Economic Development Regina comes in – working alongside businesses, partners, and the community to help turn potential into progress.

At the end of the day, economic development isn’t just about the economy – it’s about building a stronger Regina, together.
