GREENSTONE LAUNCHES WEBSITE FROM PDAC CONFERENCE IN TORONTO
New Website will aid development and grow businesses and industry in northern Ontario
TORONTO, ON – Today, at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference, the Greenstone Municipal Economic Development Office (GMED) launched a comprehensive new website that will help both potential and existing businesses and investors develop and grow in the Municipality of Greenstone.
The website www.InvestInGreenstone.ca developed by McSweeny and Associates features Canada’s most advanced business-related tools (by EDTools®) for research by businesses, site selectors, and investors looking for economic, demographic, and other investment-related information. One of the most important EDTools® to note is the Data & Profile Report Generator, found in the site selection part of the website. The Municipality wanted to provide the business community with a dedicated website to help them expand and prosper to meet the increased opportunities and demand the mining sector is currently providing.
“The site shows that we are focused and committed to attracting new investment and helping existing businesses reach their full potential,” said Mayor Beaulieu from the Greenstone booth of the PDAC conference.
Mayor Beaulieu concluded by noting that the history of Greenstone in the last century was closely tied to mining. We have embraced new tools such as this website to promote mining and exploration. We know mining and mineral processing will be the key to prosperity in Greenstone and neighbouring First Nations.
To help support and strengthen efforts to prepare the local labour pool, GMED in partnership with the Greenstone Labour Market Working Group (GLMWG) has launched a survey which will help employers, education institutions and service providers invest in pre-employment and in-house training programs.
This survey is a coordinated industry effort to serve as a tool to encourage graduates, skilled workers and those who want to be educated to remain in the Greenstone region and to also serve as tool to attract skilled workers back to the region. Please visit www.InvestInGreenstone.ca to fill out the survey by March 16th, 2012.
