The CEDC is looking for resident’s input in anticipation of their next strategic plan.
Thunder Bay’s Community Economic Development Commission has launched a survey asking stakeholders to flex their influence for the direction of the CEDC’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The group is primarily responsible for:
- Business development
- Business retention and expansion
- Entrepreneurial support
- Opportunity promotion, and
- Collection and assessment of key business data
In a statement, CEO Eric Zakrewski, said he wants to ensure that the community and it’s partners are well represented saying “we will be asking Indigenous Communities, business owners, industry, investors, associations, institutions and the public-at-large to provide us with their perspectives and guidance so we can ensure the CEDC and its resources are focused on the right priorities. More than ever, the time is right for the CEDC to have a bold vision and plans for the future of Thunder Bay. We hope the community feels the same and will share their direction with us,”
The survey is available through a dedicated website here.
There will also be two in-person events:
- Thunder Bay Country Market on June 4 from 8 am – 1 pm
- Good & Co Market on June 11 from 10 am – 2 pm
Which will allow attendants to speak with CEDC staff directly.
