Why Regina is the most livable city for entrepreneurs

When Barclay Krause travels to construction sites from his office in Regina, it rarely takes longer than 20 minutes.

That has all sorts of benefits for his company, Peregrine Landscape Construction. He saves on labour costs and wear and tear on vehicles. And he gets home that much sooner after a busy day.

And although the fast-growing city has a population of about 250,000, he isn’t faced with some of the big-city expenses seen in many other urban centres. That helps make doing business in Regina ideal for Mr. Krause, and a recent report shows he has good reason to feel that way.
