Paintearth Economic Partnership Society has been exploring many opportunities for the region.  I recently was invited to meet with approximately 15 businesses from the UK and Scotland, who are interested in expanding into Alberta.  We provided information about our region and had discussions regarding further wind farm development opportunities. 

We have finalized our industry attraction brochure and sent it to the printers, expecting it to be completed sometime this summer.  PEPS has also taken on a marketing role for the Veteran's Memorial Highway Association.  We are currently developing a brochure and website for the association, promoting the partnership and opportunities in East Central AB.  Later this week, Paintearth Economic Partnership Society has been asked to attend a bio-energy meeting in conjunction with CAEP to explore business development potential with some companies from the Netherlands. 

Don't forget Castor's 100th year Birthday Celebrations July 30- August 1.  Come and visit old friends or make new one, and see what our beautiful communities have to offer. Check out their website at www.castor.ca
