Rationale for Investment: Waterloo is a natural expansion location for CGI, Canada's largest IT services
company. "The move to Waterloo made sense because CGI already has major
insurance clients in the area such as Manulife Financial, The Co-operators and The
Economical Insurance Group. Those clients were previously being serviced out of
CGI's Toronto-area office" said Mark Sippel In addition, proximity to graduates
from the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University was another reason
for the move.

Rationale for Investment: OME Group Manager of Business Development, Martha Owner, says the company
has seen substantial growth in Waterloo Region over the past two years. "We have
hired about 50 percent of our staff from area universities and with such a large
number of manufacturing and software firms in R&D mode in Canada's Technology
Triangle, it was the logical next step for OME Group to expand to the area." She
adds, "Downtown Kitchener was an attractive location for the new office due to the
close proximity to the Canada Revenue Agency and some of our banking partners."
