Who We Are

Audacity YQR is a movement celebrating the creativity, innovation and success of bold individuals and visionary organizations that want to make Regina their home. We encourage the entire city to get behind us and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit.

An entrepreneurial mindset helps us to nurture the collective abilities and diverse values of our innovative business community, through an exchange of ideas, resources, connections and acceptance.

This entrepreneurial ecosystem helps Audacity YQR do what we do best – promote, showcase and support Regina’s entrepreneurs throughout their unique journeys.

What is Audacity YQR?

Audacity YQR is an audacious idea given life – the creation of a growing movement of entrepreneurs in Regina that will enrich the lives of the whole community. We encourage the entrepreneur in everyone, doing everything we can to help those who make a go of it. We inspire enterprise and innovation. Enable entrepreneurs to connect and share their knowledge. And we simply let you be you in pursuit of your business dreams.

Why Should You Care?

In Regina, the benefits of ‘supporting local’ can be seen and felt in our community because our entrepreneurs are friendly, accessible – and everywhere. They’re your friends and neighbours. They’re people you want to succeed. When they do, the whole community feels the buzz and is ready to welcome the entrepreneurs of the future.

Who is Audacity For?

We’re for people flying solo with an idea; family businesses maintaining a legacy or maybe just establishing one; existing enterprises expanding to generate more success. We help innovative ideas pop up, and businesses to set up shop and establish roots in the community. Every entrepreneur has a unique journey, but every one of them needs the right support to fit their story.

Our Strategy

THE GREATER REGINA AREA ENTREPRENEURSHIP STRATEGY

The Greater Regina Area (GRA) Entrepreneurship Strategy is a homegrown collaborative action plan for current and future community partners. The strategy was built on the principles of Entrepreneurs First, Community-Based and Targeted Approach. Although created by Economic Development Regina (EDR), this is a community strategy that requires the leadership of the Council for Entrepreneurship Growth and others.

This strategy is a call to action for those who are committed to nurturing entrepreneurial success. It is a community-built road map to enhance our entrepreneurial culture and ecosystem in order to make Regina a top place to start and grow a business.

Our Manifesto

It’s the city where we overcome obstacles. The city where business ideas flourish, and grow into reality. It’s the city where one’s passion is encouraged to break through. It’s a city of opportunity. Ideas are supported. Roadblocks are removed. Self-doubt turns into confidence. Questions are answered, and problems become solutions. There is no discrimination of age or sex, culture or industry. And there’s no judgement. There’s no such thing as a bad idea, for all ideas are celebrated. This city is not NY or LA, Toronto or Vancouver.

The city we speak of is right here, Regina.

We bring out the Audacious!

In the spirit of reconciliation

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is Treaty 4 territory and the traditional territory of the Anihšinābēk, Nêhiyawak, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota peoples, and the original home of the Métis/Michif Nation. We recognize that both Indigenous and Métis people are the spiritual and cultural keepers of their traditional lands and still to this day, continue to practice their values, languages, beliefs and knowledge.
