Stettler is home to some of the best health care professionals and we are an avid location for students, physicians in residency and locums. While these healthcare professionals are in our community for short periods of time we try to showcase the best we can be to encourage them to stay or return. If your business would like to offer a special or coupon to health care professionals coming into the community please let Stacey know. This will be a continuous venture as students are constantly rotating into the community.

We would be happy to use coupons you may have provided to us for sports tournaments with your permission or you are welcome to provide us with new ones.  
August
August 21 @ 9:30 am

In this workshop we’ll tackle the big questions and provide some great solutions when it comes to narrow sidewalks, serving alcohol, fencing and dining borders, using parking spaces, providing adequate pedestrian access, seasonality, as well as how to deal with highways that cruise through your downtown. 
September
September 18 @ 9:30 am

The timing for this workshop is to provide you with some novel, creative, and downright fun and effective ways to attract people during the holidays! You’ll see real-life examples of what towns—and downtowns—continue to do to pull people in for Valentines Day, the spring and fall months, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year.

So, what does that mean for local businesses?
The customers are coming, so what can you do to turn that in to sales?

Events like these are a great way to cater your businesses and services to the people they are drawing in. Get together with other business owners and the Board of Trade to create opportunities for you to succeed. February's presentation with Cathy Forner was based around this concept and there is knowledge to share!
