Regional Economic Development Link (RED Link)
The Chamber in collaboration the Fort McMurray Construction Association, implemented a Business-Industry Communication strategy known as Regional Economic Development Link (RED Link).
RED Link is a Business-Industry Communication strategy which serves to create a strong awareness of the contracting, sub-contracting and supply chain expertise that exists in a community. It will have application in any region or area where big industry and business want to successfully co-exist and benefit from mutual successes.
This strategy will help to develop partnerships between business and industry in an effort to stimulate long term contract and supply opportunities. It is a common sense approach to expanding and strengthening a community’s economic base. It provides opportunities for local business to share in the success of a large industry without promoting a 'closed economy'.
The potential for information sharing, effective communication and partnerships is what makes RED Link practical. Industry's commitment to provide local opportunities will be based on the belief and trust in the abilities and skills of local contractors, trades people and suppliers.
