Local Economic Development Commission starts and advertising campaign in Alberta to let construction companies know, Moose Jaw can fill their supply needs.

 

Alberta contractors are picking up their trade magazines and newspapers this week to find Moose Jaw businesses are willing to help make their lives easier.

With the housing boom in Alberta right now there's a shortage of supplies so Moose Jaw's Economic Development Commission has started a 10,000-dollar advertising campaign to tell the contractors, they can get their supplies from us.

Councillor Brian Swanson says why not try and cash in on a problem we have an answer to. "It’s the hottest economy on the globe right now and we're right next door to it. We now there are people and companies in Alberta that are having troubles getting supplied so we thought we might be able to cash in on that."

A report on the success of the campaign is expected in a couple weeks.
