Join us in February for the LARGEST economic development conference in northern Alberta! Growing the North offers attendees valuable information on local, provincial, national, and international issues affecting residents of the Peace Region; a mix of informative speakers representing a variety of topics and industries; and an excellent platform for important networking with municipal leaders and business people from many communities throughout northwestern Alberta and beyond. Today's connections are tomorrow's opportunities!
