Elevate Abbotsford

EcoPlan worked with the City of Abbotsford to create an economic development strategy that provides the team from the City of Abbotsford’s Economic Development department (CAED) with direction, strategies, and actions to guide their work over the next three years. EcoPlan facilitated an Innovation Forum that brought together dozens of innovators from across the community to connect with each other and tackle some of the big questions about how to grow and develop the local economy. Through the forum, and other forms of engagement (e.g., a business survey, interviews, survey follow-up interviews) over a dozen groups and 160 individuals from local business, local and provincial government, non-profit organizations and area First Nations were involved during the project.
