Northern Development launched a survey this week for businesses in its service region. This survey creates a new communication channel between all businesses and the organization, to share information from the private sector related to economic development opportunities and challenges. These diverse insights will help inform how the Trust develops and evolves its suite of business development funding programs that align with the Board’s strategic priorities.
Access the survey before June 30, 2025.
“Thank you in advance to all the businesses who take the time to complete our survey – we know you are busy running your business and we appreciate the time investment you made by spending a few minutes sharing your perspective with us,” said Ben Campbell, CEO, Northern Development. “Your comments will be recorded and reviewed as we diligently work to continue to deliver a suite of programs that are informed by the needs of businesses across the region and meet our organizational priorities.”
A year ago, Northern Development’s Board of Directors completed a strategic planning session that resulted in a refreshed three-year strategic plan with new pillars and goals as the organization enters its 20th year of catalyzing economic development in Northern B.C.
The survey is designed for those who access, or wish to access, the Trust’s funding to determine what is working well, where there are opportunities to adjust, and how we work with proponents over the whole lifecycle of the approved funding.
