We work to raise the profile of Strathcona among business, consumers and the media. We produce a Business Directory every two years, in print and on-line, to connect and promote our members to new customers, suppliers and partners. We hang street banners throughout Strathcona to further brighten our streetscape, identify the SBIA boundaries and reinforce the branding of the SBIA. We sponsor events that attract visitors and build community spirit. We host a website and circulate the 'Connections' Newsletter to provide up-to-date information and to spotlight individual businesses and the community.
To continue to strengthen the brand of Strathcona as a vibrant place to live, work, set up shop, and have fun through media relations and press coverage. You can anticipate hearing the name Strathcona more in the media in the future. Our website will see a transformation while updating to new technology to ensure a user-friendly, interactive, and innovative website.
