A quick scan of major institutions in this province is one example: Conexus Arts Centre The Conexus Arts Centre, formerly known from 1970 till 2006 as the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts, is a theatre complex located within Wascana Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. , Credit Union Centre Credit Union Centre, formerly known as Saskatchewan Place or SaskPlace, is an arena located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

But you can only use someone else's money when you have substantial head offices resident in this province. Tracking the Top 100 commercial organizations annually provides a report card on the number of firms that are leaving or being bought up compared to the number of new ones entering the marketplace. And, given the strength of our economy these days--as seen in the significant revenue growth experienced by most of the players on this year's list--the case for attracting additional players has never been better.
