The District of Squamish Economic Development Office has been recognized by the B.C. Economic Development Association with a Marketing Innovation Award for its newly launched micro-site.
The award was presented at the B.C. Economic Development Awards in Kelowna last week.
The awards recognizes the province’s best economic development marketing materials, programs and partnerships, honouring organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in urban, suburban, and rural communities.
Launched in April 2018, the District’s Economic Development interactive online tool and resource centre helps businesses access information about the local economy, customers and competition, according to the district.
The micro-site features practical information and inspiration to help businesses start, grow, invest and thrive in Squamish, as well as a new resource centre with a comprehensive list of third-party and District business tools and intelligence.
“The online economic development resource is a great example of how we can better equip the local business community and prospective investors with the tools and intelligence they need in order to thrive in today’s economic climate,” Mayor Patricia Heintzman.
