The Municipality of Portage la Prairie is making a concerted effort to promote our region around North America and even the world.  Here's Reeve Kam Blight.

"We're trying to make sure we're marketing our municipalities correctly," says Blight. "Portage Regional Economic Development has been taking that on and they're getting out and about."

Blight says they have put forward a great investment portfolio that would be attractive to any investor.

"They'll be attending certain conferences," adds Blight. "Not just in North America but outside of North America. When attending these conferences you want to make sure you have a proper package to put forward to those potential investors."

Blight notes the numbers don't lie and the fact that we've had over a billion dollars in investment over the last two years means we obviously have a great area to invest in.
