Our Economic Development Commission is starting to work on a plan to advertise local businesses in Alberta as a way to boost Moose Jaw's economy.

 

The City of Moose Jaw is thinking about starting an ad campaign in our neighboring province to the west.

The Economic Development Commission has discussed the idea of promoting local businesses in Alberta as a way to boost our economy.

Councillor Dawn Luhning explains. "Alberta right now is having such long turn around times for getting products for instance eavestroughing and windows and things like that. There might be an opportunity for some of our businesses in Moose Jaw, if not other cities in the province, to maybe start marketing those opportunities to Alberta because of the growth that's happening."

So far the Alberta campaign is just being discussed but Luhning believes there could be something positive in the idea.
