We seek your input into the municipal partners’ Columbia Valley Permanent Resident Retention & Attraction Strategy.

We know that the region already has a lot going for it, but we want it to be better. We want it to be a place that is top of mind for those who are looking for a place to live full-time or start a small business.

You and your family are invited to join fellow residents and people from southern Alberta who own property in the Columbia Valley to workshop/focus group sessions that will help us to shape the region’s future.

We want to know:

• What would make the Columbia Valley more appealing to you?
• What can we do to help attract new residents?
• How can we keep you happy living here?

With your input, real progress is possible.The more we understand your perspective, the more effective our solutions will be.

Join us for an open conversation and refreshments.

Please confirm your attendance by contacting Chris Prosser by January 14, 2016

P.S. We also have developed an online survey and we would be pleased to get your opinion. It will take about 10 minutes to complete and can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/
