Tell Minister Joly to open a Government office in North Island-Powell River
It's the best place to work!
UPDATE: Success! Thank you to everyone in the riding who wrote to the Minister! Minister Joly has announced that Campbell River will have an office of the new PacifiCan agency! This service location will help the federal government better understand the realities of economic development in rural and remote areas, and it will have a lasting positive economic impact for our region.
In February, Rachel Blaney wrote to the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister for Economic Development and Official Languages, asking her to locate an office of the new BC Regional Economic Development Agency in her riding.
In June, the Minister responded with an encouraging reply.
Locating a government office responsible for economic development in our communities would help create jobs for our residents and give the government agents valuable experience operating in a rural and remote area.
