The provincial government is organizing a series of meetings to obtain feedback from the business community, with Red Deer to be the site of one on Nov. 22.
The sessions, which will be led by Strathcona-Sherwood Park MLA Dave Quest, are intended to help the province develop a strategy for small businesses. Proposed objectives and actions in support of small businesses and entrepreneurs will be discussed.
The meetings will run from Nov. 18 to Dec. 6, and will take place in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Lloydminster. The Red Deer gathering will take place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the iHotel 67. Participants are asked to register in advance.
