Permanent link to What is it about the Strathcona County community that attracts you to do business here?The great thing about Strathcona County is that it is very community involved, and that’s been a very good thing for our business. The big thing with any small business, is to connect with your community and customers - it becomes really important to do what the internet can’t do. Strathcona County has proven itself to be a leader in business development and by promoting a certain lifestyle. So many parks, paths and trails for the community and visitors to enjoy.
