Shopping Survey Launched

Patricia Area Community Endeavours and the Dryden Development Corporation are trying to encourage more people to shop here at home.
A survey has been launched to determine shopping trends, areas of concern and community needs.
PACE Community Development Coordinator Calista Livingston says they are trying to turn around slumping numbers.
Survey results will allow communities to focus on new businesses attraction, retention and future investment in our region.
Livingston says the survey will also help retailers with customer service, product availability and hours of operation.
The poll is geared towards folks living in Dryden, Sioux Lookout, Ignace and Machin.
The survey is available at Town Hall offices as well as on-line at www.pace-cf-on.ca.
