A series of Alberta seminars about global market access is being hailed a success, with similar events planned for the future.
Cal Dallas, Alberta’s International and Intergovernmental Relations minister, presented in 10 communities from April 15 to May 2, including Rocky Mountain House.
The sessions provided information to businesses about key foreign markets and opportunities, as well as trade development services that are available.
“Minister Dallas’s seminar was very well received by our membership,” said Cindy Taschuk, executive director of the Rocky Mountain House Chamber of Commerce. “Some of our businesses are looking toward future growth opportunities.”
Dallas, who is MLA for Red Deer South, said he was pleased with the success of the initiative.
“We received a tremendous response from the business sector on our initial tour and that sparked requests from other communities for a similar event,” he said.
The locations and dates of those additional sessions will be announced shortly, said a government release.
