Edmonton Corporate Development & Attraction

[scyeg]

I really wish there could be some momentum in calling out Edmonton Global (and even city hall) as to what the hell is it that they've been doing the past few years. I truly do not understand how is it that attracting business here is not a top priority and rarely spoken about in the media.

Wow, another big blow to downtown.

I know the Oilers playoff run gave downtown a much needed shot in the arm but this success isn't sustainable and we cannot count on unpredictable events to carry momentum forward.

Oh wow, I had no idea. I thought they were still on the south side.

I seem to recall around when they relocated downtown, they also shifted a lot of their staff to elsewhere in Canada, so not a such a big head office here now I think.
