MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR & CEO

2023 was an incredible year for the St. John’s Board of Trade, our partners and our members! Building on the momentum, success, and direction from 2022, we propelled into 2023 with purpose and enthusiasm.

In reflecting on the last year, on the work we have done and everything we have accomplished, there is one clear theme: Connection. From new connections formed to long-established connections strengthened, this theme was at the heart of everything we did. It has guided how we understand the types of support and advocacy needed, how we find ways to work with partners, associations, and fellow chambers, and how we champion ideas and achieve results. It is so clear that we are more informed and more impactful when we work together.

Connections were so evident throughout our advocacy efforts this year. From air access and rideshare, to CEBA loan repayment and regional cooperation—we found ways to work with our partners to demonstrate our shared perspectives and advance the collective good of our province, our membership and the Newfoundland and Labrador business community.

Nowhere was the theme of connection more apparent than at our in-person events and, in 2023, we saw an unprecedented number of them—they brought members together to learn, inspire, network, and succeed. We collaborated with others to host some of the most memorable show-stopping events, celebrating the successes of our business community and highlighting the incredible power of our membership.

By all accounts, 2023 was a tremendous year. In addition to the impact we had on the province and our members—as an organization, we connected with more members and more partners, experiencing incredible growth, engagement, and event attendance.

On behalf of the Board of Trade team and Board of Directors, thank you for the amazing year. Your continued support and trust inspires us everyday— we look forward to continuing to work with you and to be the trusted voice of the business community throughout 2024.

Alex Gibson Chair, St. John’s Board of Trade AnnMarie Boudreau CEO,

VISION

Establish Newfoundland and Labrador as the most sought-after place to do business in Atlantic Canada.

MISSION

Helping business succeed.

VALUES

Our Brand Values reflect how we believe we should act and the principles we uphold; they are our collective moral compass. Values influence attitudes and behaviour and acting in conflict with our values can be detrimental.

Leadership

We are leaders because our members have placed their trust in us. Our leadership defines our reason for existing and is central to every choice we make. More than just a series of actions, it is a mindset. We embrace our role as a convenor of business and strive to inspire through innovation and advocacy. We are disciplined, consultative and, when necessary, outspoken.

4 4

Community

Everything we do is in service to our communities. Our membership is our primary focus, but community in all senses—our city, our friends and family, our province—are in our consideration set when developing programs. Local-first is not an afterthought, it’s a guiding principle. Also, ensuring that all diverse viewpoints in our communities are heard and respected is essential to being true leaders.

Prosperity

We are growth-focused for our members’ businesses, for the business community, for the city and for the province. A successful and prosperous business environment increases confidence for all of our citizens and attracts investment in the region. We act to increase prosperity because the benefits to everyone are valuable and widespread.

Adaptability

We are innovative in our ideas and approach, driven to move business forward, and quick to adapt to new challenges and circumstances. We are inclusive, responding to the needs of our diverse membership. We recognize that ‘the way it’s always been done,’ is rarely the way it should be done now.

PILLARS

The very foundation of our purpose and focus–who we are and what we do–rests on three pillars: Engage, Empower, and Amplify. In this report, you’ll find that these pillars are the driving force behind all of the actions the St. John’s Board of Trade has undertaken in 2023, whether through our advocacy work, events, or member learning initiatives and networking.

Engage

The St. John’s Board of Trade fosters active participation from both businesses and the people within our membership, facilitating connections and opportunities for members to contribute to legislative discussions, ultimately aiming for a stronger and more thriving business community

5

in our province. Through events, sponsorships, and advocacy efforts, we prioritize meaningful engagement to ensure members feel heard and supported.

Empower

We work to equip our members with the tools and information necessary to enhance their businesses, achieved through interpreting complex reports, hosting expert sessions, and facilitating mentorship connections. By staying engaged with our members, we address their challenges, provide timely assistance, and deliver relevant opportunities, ultimately aiming to raise economic confidence and support success in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Amplify

We love to champion our community by inspiring our membership, promoting the business environment throughout the province, and communicating member successes. As advocates for our members to government, promoters of business news and success stories, and celebrators of achievements through awards, we aim to elevate the profiles of our members and strengthen the larger business community.

GOALS

During the development of our 2021-2024 Strategic Plan, ten goals were identified with our pillars of Engage, Empower, and Amplify. Since 2021, the St. John’s Board of Trade pursued each of these strategic goals as supported by key initiatives.

Engage

• Redefine and re-introduce St. John’s Board of Trade to the business community.

• Establish and/or strengthen effective and productive two-way relationships with industry and community partners throughout the province, including government, associations, post-secondary institutions, and chambers.

• Increase proactive outreach to current and prospective members, incorporating their voice and opinion into the work that we do and value we deliver.

• Create moments of connection between businesses, associations, members, government, etc. within our province.

Empower

• Create opportunities for members to share their expertise and knowledge to grow their business.

• Collect, interpret, and share information that can aid our members’ success in a timely manner.

• Set a tone of positivity and collaboration for the business community in Newfoundland and Labrador that balances reality with optimism.

• Amplify the stories and successes of members with our own unique, professional, and polished voice.

Amplify

• Increase the number of St. John’s Board of Trade members.

• Advance our position as the resource you rely on for up to date and accurate information relevant to business in Newfoundland and Labrador.

With 2024 upon us, and each of these goals achieved, the St. John’s Board of Trade will reevaluate the needs of the business community in the development of our next Strategic Plan throughout the coming year.

2023 IN REVIEW: A YEAR OF CONNECTIONS

You have heard us say this time and time again—the purpose of the St. John’s Board of Trade is to help businesses succeed—and we believe success cannot happen in a silo. It is all about connections: being a part of a larger community. The business community in Newfoundland and Labrador—our 700+ members—are leaders, partners, suppliers, customers and clients, teachers, friends, and supporters of one another. We see this reflected in our logo. Cabot Tower atop historic Signal Hill in St. John’s is not just an icon of the city we call home; it’s a symbol of this province’s connection to the world and, for us, a symbol of bringing local businesses to a wider community.

2023 was a year of connections for the St. John’s Board of Trade. As always, we brought our members together for our signature networking events like the Meet the Board Welcome Reception and Golf Classic but we also connected with other chambers of commerce and industry associations through brand new member events like Collaborating Communities. We connected our members directly with policy makers to discuss the issues that matter most at our annual State of the Province and Post-Budget Luncheon events, but also created new connections with Minister of Health and Community Services, the Honourable Tom Osbourne, at Monitoring Our Progress. We forged international connections this year as we met with the Trade Council of Denmark, and again as we successfully advocated for the return of flights from St. John’s to Europe.

If there is one key learning that we took from 2023 it’s that we accomplish more when we work together. Each of these connections built and strengthened, all that the St. John’s Board of Trade does to Engage, Empower, and Amplify you—our members. You can expect more events like these and more success from our collaborative efforts as we move into 2024.

ENGAGE

Hiring Newcomers: A Conversation with Employers

In February, the St. John’s Board of Trade and TaskforceNL partnered to host a focus group bringing local employers with Department of Immigration, Population Growth, and Skills, and the Association of New Canadians to understand more about the expectations and challenges of hiring newcomers.

AGM and Meet the Board Welcome Reception

On February 24th, our members met virtually for our 2023 Annual General Meeting, where we reflected on 2022 and discussed what to expect in the year ahead. That afternoon, members of the St. John’s Board of Trade gathered to meet the 2023 Board of Directors and chat with new Chair, Alex Gibson. It was a wonderful reminder of why it is important to take time to connect and network with colleagues and friends.

Collaborative Networking Social

In March, the St. John’s Board of Trade partnered with fellow industry associations Energy NL, econext, TechNL, and NLOWE to host a collaboration event and bring our networks together. Over 400 of our collective members came together at the Emera Innovation Exchange to connect and network—reminding everyone of the value of collaboration and the power of our network.

The Future of Energy Roundtable with Minister Wilkinson

In May, the St. John’s Board of Trade hosted a roundtable discussion with the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, the Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr., Minister of Labour and Seniors, and MP Joanne Thompson to discuss the changing energy climate and the emerging opportunities for our province with leaders of Newfoundland and Labrador’s energy sector.

10

Golf Classic

On June 1st, the Public Procurement Agency, in partnership with the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology and the St. John’s Board of Trade, hosted a ‘Meet the Buyers’ Reverse Trade Show. It was the perfect opportunity for potential and existing suppliers, manufacturers, consultants, and contractors to connect with public sector buyers at this one-stop event.

Members learned how their products and services could potentially meet the needs of public bodies, including the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Government of Canada, municipalities, academia institutions, school boards and health facilities.

Supplier Sessions: World Energy GH2

In July, the St. John’s Board of Trade brought together local construction contractors and suppliers with World Energy GH2 to discuss Project Nujio’qonik. The project aims to be Canada’s first commercial green hydrogen/ammonia producer created from wind energy, and these sessions were an opportunity for St. John’s Board of Trade members to meet the project members and demonstrate their capabilities and capacity.

It’s not August in Newfoundland and Labrador without the St. John’s Board of Trade’s annual Golf Classic. Over 150 members got out of the office to network on the green. Business partnerships were forged, golf balls were lost, and memories were made to last a lifetime.

11

State of the Province

The St. John’s Board of Trade captured the attention of the entire province on October 24th as the Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, engaged with members at the 2nd annual State of the Province address. Premier Furey outlined details, plans, and priorities for our province that are important to businesses, speaking on our healthcare system, the cost of living, and climate change.

Premier Furey also answered our questions, underlining his optimism for the future and referenced record numbers in population growth, unemployment and immigration. He also provided updates on housing, the federal carbon tax, and impacts on small business.

Every extra mile you go and every hour you invest, you help reinforce and build the foundation of the new Newfoundland and Labrador.
- The Honourable Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

EMPOWER

Post-Budget Luncheon with Minister Coady

On March 24th, the St. John’s Board of Trade hosted the Honourable Siobhan Coady, Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance, for a discussion with our members about Budget 2023. We discussed the issues most relevant for business, including what Newfoundlanders and Labradorians could expect from recent healthcare spending, as well as the direct and indirect opportunities for the private sector in healthcare. Minister Coady shared her perspective on why a Future Fund is necessary and how the provincial government plans to return to balance ahead of schedule with continued diligence and discipline.

Virtual Input Session: Pay Equity and Pay Transparency Act

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador passed the Pay Equity and Pay Transparency Act in October 2022, outlining pay equity provisions for the public sector, and pay transparency provisions for the public and private sectors. On April 26th, the St. John’s Board of Trade hosted an input session for members to share their perspectives and help inform the drafting of regulations which impact businesses across the province.

Collaborating Communities

The year of connections continued on June 14th with “Collaborating Communities”. Hosted jointly by the St. John’s Board of Trade, the Mount Pearl Paradise Chamber of Commerce, and the Conception Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, this event connected members with the Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland & Labrador, the Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, Minister of Municipal and Provincial Affairs, and the Mayors of Mount Pearl, CBS, Paradise, and St. John’s.

It was an important opportunity to network and collectively address regional challenges, leverage diverse perspectives and resources, and strengthen our collective influence in advocating for policies that support local businesses and economic growth.

13

Maximizing Your Membership

Our mission is to help business succeed. That’s why a St. John’s Board of Trade membership comes with the tools and opportunities needed to Engage, Empower, and Amplify your business.

Throughout 2023, our team hosted monthly Maximizing Your Membership information sessions to ensure our 700+ members can take advantage of every available resource. Benefits like the Members-Only Savings Program, Member to Member (M2M), access to our signature events, and our portal and directory listing are what save you money and build invaluable connections.

AMPLIFY

Employee Health & Wellness Special Event

We’re not just committed to the health of your business – we want to ensure the health of your team, too! We kicked off 2023 with brand-new member-only savings programs offered by Catalyst Health and Whelan Wellness. On January 26th, June Tavenor, CEO of Catalyst Health, and Gill Whelan, CEO & Founder of Whelan Wellness, delivered an information session about how the employee-focused health and wellness programs they’re offering St. John’s Board of Trade members can be beneficial to employees as well as help with recruitment and retention in the workplace.

Checking In with YYT

On June 19th, the St. John’s Board of Trade hosted a conversation with the St. John’s International Airport Authority’s new CEO, Dennis Hogan. It was a unique opportunity to hear about the airport’s current and future plans and address some of the challenges and opportunities experienced by our members and business community.

14

Meeting with the Trade Council of Denmark

In September, we were proud to host the Danish Embassy/Trade Council of Denmark at our office. With their trade council in Toronto and a network of Honorary Consulates across Canada, our country and our province remains an attractive place to do business. In the last decade, Canada has become one of the strongest growing export markets for Danish companies and, considering the Kingdom of Denmark (Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands) shares not only borders with Canada in the Arctic but also–and more importantly–a wide range of core values with a support for strong international relations, we see many opportunities for future collaboration.

Monitoring Our Progress

Effective, timely and accessible healthcare is essential for a healthy, thriving, and sustainable economy. On September 19th, the Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Health & Community Services, and Dr. Pat Parfrey, Deputy Minister of Health Transformation & Co-Chair of Health Accord NL, joined the St. John’s Board of Trade for “Monitoring Our Progress”.

This first-of-its-kind event gave our members direct access to the Minister of Health for an important conversation surrounding healthcare in our province. During our panel discussion, the Minister and Dr. Parfrey acknowledged the longstanding challenges in health care, including limited access to care and recruiting health-care professionals, and focused on the positive changes made so far through the Health Accord 10-Year Plan.

We understand that transformation takes time, but we’re starting to see that.
- Health Minister Tom Osborne
15

BDC: The Power of Entrepreneurship

In October, we partnered with BDC to host “The Power of Entrepreneurship” panel discussion with BDC President & CEO, Isabelle Hudon, and Pierre Cléroux, VP, Research & Chief Economist.

It was an exciting conversation, covering a wide variety of topics impacting businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our panelists gave insight into what to expect for 2024-5, including what businesses in the province should look for on the horizon in terms of investing (i.e. digitalization), how Newfoundland and Labrador is in a unique position to grow by business acquisitions (considering our aging population), and recruitment tactics to attract talent to our province.

Small Business Week 2023

Did you know that 98% of the businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador are small businesses? That makes small businesses (1-99 employees) the lifeblood of our provincial economy and something worth celebrating!

October 15th-21st was Small Business Week in Canada and the St. John’s Board of Trade recognized our members with a campaign to promote this vital part of our business community. Our members shared their stories and words of wisdom to help and inspire fellow entrepreneurs. We love when members support members.

During the week, the St. John’s Board of Trade partnered with our member, Shoppers Drug Mart, to host a free Vaccine Clinic for small businesses.

16

ADVOCACY IN 2023

Serving as a voice for our members and the broader business community is a vital role for the St. John’s Board of Trade. By engaging in advocacy efforts, we strive to foster an environment conducive to economic growth and prosperity in our region. Our commitment to advocacy reflects our dedication to working collaboratively with all levels of government and other stakeholders to adress challenges, promote innovation, and create opportunities for sustainable development, always mindful of the diverse interests and concerns of our members.

17

CEBA Loan Deadline Extension

Since its launch, approximately 8,500 businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador received a Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loan. With concerns that 1 in 5 businesses may not be able to repay the full balance by the January 2024 deadline, this was an important issue for the St. John’s Board of Trade.

Through communications with Federal Ministers and other Members of Parliament, we advocated for measures to ensure the full economic recovery and future growth of businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador, including an extension to the CEBA loan repayment deadline by two years to the end of 2025, or at least by one year, while maintaining access to the forgivable portion.

Bringing Ridesharing to Newfoundland and Labrador

Throughout 2023, the St. John’s Board of Trade had been advocating and facilitating conversations to bring rideshare options in the province. In October, we joined the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and our community partners to announce a province-wide approach for ridesharing. Increasing transportation options is about more than just moving people. It’s about igniting economic opportunity. The St. John’s Board of Trade looks forward to welcoming rideshare providers to our city and province in 2024.

18

Air Access

When you live and work on an island, the availability of air access has a significant impact on how you do business. Reliable air transportation allows businesses to take advantage of new opportunities, attract investment and encourage economic growth. Ensuring equitable and sustainable air access for all communities and regions is an ongoing challenge, requiring collaboration and innovation.

Through meetings and communications with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, the province’s airports, and airlines, the St. John’s Board of Trade has been advocating for increased air access to the province.

In February, our Executive and CEO met with the team at the St. John’s International Airport to discuss how critical air access is to both our business community and the provincial economy, as well as solutions under development.

In July and November, the St. John’s Board of Trade was part of the announcements that WestJet was adding more flights from St. John’s International Airport to Calgary, Florida, and London.

City of St. John’s 2024 Municipal Budget

In response to the City of St. John’s 2024 Budget, released in December, the St. John’s Board of Trade has been actively engaged in advocacy efforts to address the impact of tax increases on members and the broader business community.

We believe it is critical that the city demonstrate the rigor and decision-making process that goes into budget development. The Board of Trade continues to ask the city to demonstrate what expenditure or service delivery reductions were made.

In communications with both the city and media, we emphasized the challenges posed by rising costs for both home and business owners, particularly small- and medium-sized businesses.

19

2023 BUSINESS BOOTCAMP

Members were equipped with practical strategies for effective visual storytelling, confident selling, financial management, and cultivating a caring work culture through our Interactive Workshops.

Our Panel Discussions delivered insights into diversity, equity, inclusion, and the emerging wind and hydrogen sector’s opportunities.

On May 16th and 17th, we welcomed over 250 members of Newfoundland and Labrador’s business community for the second annual St. John’s Board of Trade Business Bootcamp. This fast-paced, hands-on experience, aimed at propelling businesses forward, included interactive workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities with suppliers, government leaders, and titans of business.

The Love Local Lunch brought together some of the brightest stars of our local culinary scene to create an unforgettable dining experience, allowing our members to mix, mingle, and experience the many tastes of St. John’s at this fun and interactive networking luncheon.

Business Connect, a world café style session where members moved from table to table and connected with up to 25 expert conversation hosts. It was a move-at-your-own-pace, engaging networking and learning opportunity that we were so delighted to bring to the province.

During our Keynote Luncheon, Greg Roberts, Owner and CEO of Mary Brown’s, offered invaluable insights into achieving remarkable success in the business landscape. An incredible message about taking care of your people and not being afraid to share with them how much they mean to you.

It’s always rewarding when I get to connect with like-minded local business owners that make up the fabric of our communities. The St. John’s Board of Trade has created a unique way for businesspeople to come together and get energized.

The Member to Member (M2M) Marketplace and dedicated networking sessions provided invaluable opportunities for connections and collaboration.
