People are feeling tired in Toronto, Vancouver, and other major Canadian markets. They're
tired of long commute times, high housing costs, unaffordable daycare rates, and scarce
family time. This fatigue has ramifications for companies located in these cities – corporate
burnout is increasing, productivity is declining, and job tenure is shrinking. Intercompany
poaching of talent is all too common in Canada's largest cities, driving up salaries, and
increasing training and business costs. While top talent is looking at other jurisdictions to
build their careers, companies are increasingly looking for smaller cities in which to grow
sustainably. Companies in these large cities are facing a new business imperative to reduce
burnout rates, increase retention, extend job tenure, and improve quality of life for their talent.
Companies and talent are moving to Winnipeg thanks to
our unique combination of work-life balance, affordability,
