This publication focuses on the metropolitan economies of Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau, Toronto, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria. Document Highlights Halifax’s economy is expected to grow by 2.3 per cent this year, fuelled by strength in manufacturing and construction. Strength in manufacturing and the personal services sector will help GDP grow by 1.8 per cent in Québec City in 2015. GDP growth in Montréal will reach 2.1 per cent in 2015, thanks to the ongoing recovery in manufacturing and steady services growth. Ottawa–Gatineau’s GDP will grow by 0.7 per cent in 2015 as non-residential construction and high-tech services offset public sector weakness. Decent gains in construction and services-producing industries will help Toronto’s economy expand by 2.6 per cent this year. Non-residential construction, manufacturing, and personal services will support GDP growth of 1.5 per cent in Hamilton in 2015. Winnipeg’s GDP will grow 2.6 per cent in 2015 as services growth stays healthy and non-residential construction picks up. Prompted by the drop in oil prices, economic growth in Regina will slow to 1.6 per cent this year. Saskatoon’s GDP growth will be limited to 1.7 per cent this year because of low prices for oil and other resources. The oil price slump has hit Calgary’s economy hard this year, with GDP set to drop by 0.5 per cent. Edmonton’s economy will contract by 0.1 per cent in 2015 as a result of the drop in oil prices. Strength in manufacturing, construction, and the services sector will support GDP growth of 3.4 per cent in Vancouver in 2015. Victoria’s GDP will rise 1.4 per cent in 2015 as manufacturing and services output improve.
