Business and Trade

Following the Second World War the Regina Board 
of Trade changed its name to the Regina Chamber 
of Commerce.  In 1951 The Regina Chamber of 
Commerce relocated its office to its present home 
at 2145 Albert Street.

As the city's economy grew, so did the demands 
of the home consumer.  In 1965 the first enclosed 
shopping mall opened in Regina, The Northgate 
Shopping Centre in North Regina.  By the 1980's 
Regina was home to several shopping centres 
and hundreds of businesses.  

Major constructions in the 1980's included the 
construction of The Cornwall Centre, The CBC 
building, The Neil Balkwill Centre, The Regina 
Sportsplex and The Ramada Renaissance and 
the Saskatchewan Trade and Convention Centre.
