The keynote speaker at the lunch series yesterday spoke about the importance of an economic strategy.
President of Johnston Group Dave Angus goes over his role in helping the Parkland.
“The reason I’m here is I co-chaired an economic development initiative for the province, looking at creating an economic strategy for Manitoba. I came here to explain some of our findings and how Dauphin and the Parkland can leverage what we created.”
A big positive is the people in the area, as well as some great assets, and there is huge potential in the area.
The Chamber needs to get better at making connections, the Parkland needs to integrate into organizations about economic development and develop relationships.
Angus says there is a great opportunity for economic growth in the Parkland.
