Saskatchewans' top 100 sequel.


WELCOME TO THE FIRST-EVER SASKATCHEWAN Saskatchewan, province, Canada
Saskatchewan (səskăch`əwən, –wän', săs'–), province (2001 pop. 978,933), 251,700 sq mi (651,903 sq km), W Canada.

. The name bestowed upon this list--the Top 100 Sequel did not come without a considerable amount of time, discussion and debate. And in the end, we settled with something that is a bit of a misnomer misnomer n. the wrong name.

 chart shows, there are not 100 companies on this list. Rather, this list is comprised of those companies which fell just below our recently released Top 100. Therefore, when defined literally, it is a sequel to the Top 100 companies, which appeared in the last issue of Saskatchewan Business. Hence ... the Top 100 Sequel.

We are providing this list for a few of important reasons. Firstly, by virtue of their economic generation within this fine province, the companies appearing on this list are worthy Worthy can refer to: People
  • James Worthy, basketball player from Gastonia, North Carolina
  • John Worthy Chaplin, English recipient of the Victoria Cross
  • F. F.
 of all the accolades and public recognition as possible. This is our way of congratulating those who had outstanding performances in their most recent fiscal year.

Secondly, because this year's Top 100 companies in Saskatchewan resulted in a record number of responses, we had a distinctly higher cut off point in terms of the 100th-place company's annual revenue.

In fact, for the first time ever, the 100th-place position of the Top 100 Companies in Saskatchewan achieved sales in excess of $20 million. Therefore, companies which would have easily qualified for fairly significant placements on previous Top 100 lists--as each of the placements are--were denied so Ibis ibis (ī`bĭs), common name for wading birds with long, slender, decurved bills, found in the warmer regions of both hemispheres. The body is usually about 2 ft (61 cm) long. Most ibises nest in colonies.  year because of the relative increase in revenue of the 2003 Top 100 list. Another reason for the introduction of this Top 100 Sequel listing is the abundance Abundance

 of the co-operative movement.

While our hats go off to these co-operatives which have shared their gross financial reportings with us, we also dually thank and congratulate the private firms which are on our Top 100 Sequel list.

Therefore, to share this information is greatly appreciated and beyond that, is revered. Because what this decision means, is that these companies are making a fundamental statement in terms of their operating philosophy with us.

Saskatchewan needs people like these leaders to get ahead. In order to achieve this forward movement, we need to increase our tax base and to do that, you need to do one of two things; create a greater tax base from which to draw, ie: more people; or create a greater tax pool from which to draw, ie: higher revenues, which in turn are generate more/higher taxes.

Either way you look at it, the companies which contribute to not just to our our Top 100 Sequel, but also to Top 100 companies, are contributing to our economic well-being through higher revenues, as well as high employment rates. Thanks to you all.
