Business input needed for regional economic resilience taskforce

Aug 9, 2025 | 11:00 AM

The City of Red Deer and 10 other municipalities in the region want your business’s feedback.

The input will be used by the group those municipalities have formed, called the Central Alberta Economic Resilience Taskforce (CAERT).

Per the city, CAERT aims to encourage import replacement in favour of domestically produced goods and diversification of trading partners, advocate for economically favourable conditions and trade agreements, and collect data to inform strategies that enhance regional economic resilience.

Local businesses are encouraged to complete the survey and help CAERT better advocate with a unified voice at the regional, provincial and national levels. Participation in the survey is voluntary, and all responses will remain confidential.
