Message from the Chair:

January 2011

As newly appointed Chairperson for the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers Economic Development committee, I look forward to seeing the committee's goals come to fruition. I also look forward to brainstorming new, creative ideas for the area.  As a former business owner and long time resident I know the importance of economic development. Whether it is a seasonal farmer's market or attracting new long term businesses to town, it all spells employment for the local residents. 

As a member of this committee, I will have the chance to work with like minded Individuals to investigate new opportunities for a sustainable future so that more residents have the choice to stay if they choose.  

Upon review of the Economic Development Strategic Plan, I can see there are many opportunities to build on our current resources, such as creating closer relationships with local communities. Together we can have a stronger voice in government by pooling funds /ideas to develop greater opportunities for long term employment.

Sincerely,

Susan Sonnenburg
Chair of Sables-Spanish Rivers Economic Development
