Winkler & District Chamber of Commerce

What are the Program’s Objectives?

• Demonstrate to local businesses that the community appreciates their contribution to the local economy.
• Help existing businesses solve problems
• Assist local businesses in using programs aimed at helping them become more competitive
• Develop strategic plans for long-range business retention and expansion
• Build community capacity to sustain their growth and development

Thank you for helping with this Business Retention and Expansion survey. This process is a key step in building an effective partnership between local businesses and the community. There are two rules we have for this survey:

1. The “Skip It Rule” – If there is a question that you can’t or don’t want to answer, we can skip it. There is no need to explain your reasons; just let us know.
2. Confidentiality – All information you provide is confidential. All Volunteer Visitors are committed to this principle. All the responses from businesses will be summarized as percentages or averages in the community report.
3. Copy of Final Report – After the survey results are compiled, we will develop strategic action plans to respond to business needs, concerns and opportunities. Copies of the report will be provided to all businesses participating in the survey.
