Have Your Say: How Could U.S. and Chinese Tariffs Affect Local Businesses?

We know your time is valuable, so we’ll keep this short.

Clearwater County is working with several nearby communities; including Rocky Mountain House, Sundre, Didsbury, Red Deer County, Innisfail, Mountain View County, Kneehill County, Red Deer, Blackfalds, and more; to better understand how potential U.S. and Chinese tariffs could impact local businesses.

This is part of the Central Alberta Economic Resilience Taskforce (CAERT) β€” a regional effort to ensure local voices guide trade decisions, support programs, and economic planning.

We’re asking business owners to take 8–10 minutes to complete a short survey.
πŸ“‹ Take the Survey
πŸ•“ Deadline: Friday, August 29 at 4:00 p.m.

If you run a storefront, work in trades, agriculture, or any other sector, your perspective matters. Your input will help us advocate for the right support and show decision-makers what’s really happening in Central Alberta.

You know your business best; and we want to hear from you.

Thank you for being such an important part of our community.
