Economic development update
PUT ON YOUR BEACH WEAR! BIKINI SHOW
Continued from page 2
Telford said the City of Camrose economic development is taking a different approach this year in promoting the lifestyle that is available to all residents of Camrose, not just seniors. He noted that the ads that have been taken out in publications focus on telling people that Camrose is the best place to start a business, meet new people and neighbours or participate in activities. Telford said the City of Camrose will be partnering with Battle River School Division in January to create a new Junior Achievement Program. "We know the youth of the community are important and we want them to stay here. Anything we could do would be great." Telford said the City will be interviewing close to 100 businesses in the next year to obtain locally relevant information about employment levels, the number of full-time and parttime workers, the total number of employees, and the number of businesses that have corporate as opposed to private ownership. "It is very important from a growth and economic development perspective that we get that information. We will be using some questions from the social development committee because, of course, they are interested in planning for employee issues, whether it be daycare or affordable housing." Telford said it is wrong to think that the majority of new jobs in a community come from new businesses. "This is the Canada stat: seventy-six per cent of the new job growth in any community comes from existing businesses. New businesses coming in account for nine per cent of the job growth and entrepreneurship is responsible for about nine per cent. If we have 650 businesses in Camrose and half of them expanded by one employee you would be looking at another 300 employees. To get a business here with 300 employees would take a long time."
