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!

"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."
