Welcoming Program  

Is your business brand new?  Are you planning a re-opening? Do you have a storefront? 

Let us know your opening day and we will  bring the scissors to help you celebrate your ribbon cutting. Mayor and Council will be invited (pending availability) and Town Administration will also attend. We will take photos and post on all the Town's social media channels. In the event that a ribbon cutting is not possible, we will be happy to post a "Welcome to Didsbury" announcement  via our social media channels, as well as a mention in our quarterly economic development newsletter.
