A tech startup based in Saskatoon is looking on the bright side of owning a business as the Canadian dollar continues to decline.
OneStory’s Katrina German admits they don’t face the same struggle that other businesses do because they are not importing products from the United States.

She said they have started focusing a lot of their sales efforts in the U.S. market because the American dollar is stretching much further.
“That’s definitely been a change for us.”
