Economic Development Committee
The Town of Peace River has collaborated with the Peace River Chamber of Commerce to establish a new Economic Development Committee (EDC). The EDC will assist Town of Peace River staff and Council in supporting, enhancing, and promoting business and economic activity within Peace River. The Committee’s role is to plan and undertake economic development initiatives, to advise and support Peace River Council on matters relating to the local economy and business community, and to act as a liaison between Council and the business community.
The Peace River & Area Job Fair is back on Sept. 27, 2023! The full list of employers participating in this year’s event is available here:
EDC Work Plan
In June 2024, the Economic Development Committee presented an updated work plan to Town Council. You can view it below.
