Initiatives Prince George had a big year in Prince George.
IPG CEO Heather Oland says 2014 saw several successful campaigns including Move-UP PG, and connected the Canada Winter Games to suppliers and regional companies as well as overseeing some business readying training.
She also says 2015 also looks bright with the roll out of the new business retention and expansion program:
“So over the course of the summer and into the fall we interviewed 153 Prince George businesses in face to face 40-60 minute interviews and got some really fabulous in depth data about their opportunities and the challenges that they’re facing, we are in the process of designing that program to really create economic development tools that can really help Prince George businesses”
Oland says perhaps the biggest highlight of the year is all the work they’ve done preparing local businesses for the arrival of the Canada Winter Games.
