Hello Courtney
Re: businessincalgary.com Magazine
I was at my Son's graduation in Ottawa when I came across this wonderful magazine ( Ottawa Book of List ) I was wondering why not have one for Calgary and Edmonton this would be a go-to book for all.
the go-to book for all. - Students looking for Places to work, A buying Guide for products and services, an index of business and so much more.
This book be published in print every odd year or even say every 4 or 5 years.
It could be an online directory as we no longer have yellow pages. And perhaps the listing can grow every year with more Business categories/Industry types etc.
But it would be more than simply listing ... see the Ottawa " Book of List " Format.
We can all do our part to make the book a reality by asking the students from graduating classes or Coop Students for Colleges, SAIT, NAIT, U of C, U of A, and Mount Royal University to collect the data.
You can use The City of Calgary database to get company info etc.
Calgary Business Listing Showing 33,041
I hope you can make this happen as I am sure it will touch and perhaps change the economic outlook of people who will use this and benefit from it.
I hope to hear from you that you like my suggestion and will share it with the executive team.
