The online consumer survey will help Whitecourt understand residents’ shopping habits, and what influences them to shop both locally and outside the community. The information collected will be used to develop strategies to help local businesses offer products and services that match the current needs of our community, and to focus our attraction and investment efforts to businesses that provide services needed in Whitecourt.
