FEATURING GUEST SPEAKER LAURIE GUTHRIE,
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST
"Building a Successful Business Ambassador Program"
Fredericton, like many communities, lacked the resources to engage in
the expensive game of investment attraction. The quandary was how
could a small city with one economic development officer and a modest
budget address this challenge? As the Knowledge-based Capital of
New Brunswick, Fredericton also had an advantage: being home to a
large number of local companies doing global business. In 2002, Laurie
Guthrie saw an opportun ty to leverage and engage these corporate citizens to promote Fredericton
while abroad for meetings and travels, and so the idea Fredericton Business Ambassador
Program was born.
Attend to learn how the program was pioneered, and how a team of 720 people were inspired to
promote their city on the global stage!

Liberal Budget
fails Huron -Bruce
Press -release
sent from MPP
Thompson
QUEEN'S PARK - The
Liberals' 2016 Budget is
putting a new tax on gaso-
line and home -heating
that will make life more
unaffordable for families
and seniors across Ontario
says Lisa Thompson, MPP
for Huron -Bruce.
"All across my riding
I've been hearing the
same thing: the cost of liv-
ing is too high. People are
being forced to choose
between heating and eat-
ing, and with this Budget,
unfortunately there is not
a break in sight," said
Thompson.
Included in the Budget is
the Liberals' proposed
cap -and -trade scheme,
which they say will only
increase gasoline costs by
4.3 cents a litre and natural
gas costs by $60 a year.
However, private -sector
estimates show that the
long-term cost impact on
families will be much
higher, increasing the cost
of gasoline by $400 a year
and home -heating by $475.
"What the Liberals have
failed to realize is the eco-
nomic toll this will have
on our smaller communi-
ties. Here in Huron -Bruce,
the Liberals' Cap -and -
Trade tax will directly
impact the ability of
industries such as farm-
ing, tourism and small
business to remain
competitive.
"Another red flag for me
is the reduction to the
budget for the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs," said
Thompson. "Ontario
farmers deserve to have a
government that supports
them."
"The only good that I
can see coming from this
Budget is the commitment
to increased spending for
special needs students,
enhancing autism ser-
vices, hospice and pallia-
tive care. I've advocated
for better support in these
areas, and I'll be working
to ensure that Huron -
Bruce receives its fair
share of these funds."
