Prince George, B.C. – Initiatives Prince George’s annual market expansion forum at the Ramada Hotel is proving to be another success.

“I’m very pleased with the attendance, we have more than 140 Prince George businesses and regional businesses in the room, which is a complete sell-out,” says CEO Heather Oland.

“Fabulous information is available for the supply chain to be talking directly to the major project proponents so that they can understand how they can be project ready and capitalize on the economic opportunities.”

She says the forum was purposely scheduled on the eve of the Premier’s BC Natural Resource Forum.

“We deliberately plan the market expansion forum for the day before the natural resource forum because all the major proponents are in Prince George anyway. So it’s a great way to have some synergy and be respectful of people’s time.”

Stewart Muir, executive director of Vancouver based company Resource Works, provided today’s keynote speech.
