The Town of Sylvan Lake wants to hear what's on your wish list for new businesses.

As Communications Officer Joanne Gaudet explains, they're hoping you'll take 15 minutes out of your day to complete a consumer survey.

“We’re asking residents of Sylvan Lake only to have a say basically in the future of shopping in Sylvan Lake.  We’ve teamed up with Banister Research and Consulting and we’re inviting Sylvan Lakers to share their opinions regarding new retail opportunities that we could then pursue to enhance the offering and retain spending within the community”.

It’s all part of an economic development initiative which the Town can then use to ensure they are working to target and attract the right types of businesses.

Gaudet explains some of the questions you can expect and what they are trying to gauge.

“Identifying things like different franchises that realistically could relocate or set up in Sylvan Lake.  The types of more localized or unique shops and shopping opportunities they would be interested in.  Doing a quick measurement of the amount of shopping they currently are doing in Sylvan Lake.

They also want to get an idea of what shops and retail businesses residents currently need to seek outside of the community.

You have until the end of day Friday to take the survey, click here.
