Our 2012 Marketing Program is off to a good start…….

Our program this year is our most comprehensive yet. We want 118th Avenue to be a “vibrant commercial strip” and experts are clear that it needs to be supported by more than the local community. The focus of this marketing campaign is to draw Edmontonians at large to come and experience all the Avenue has to offer. Local residents are already becoming increasingly aware of this, even though the perception of the area has greatly changed, it still suffers to some degree from its old reputation. The campaign features a broad range of advertising capitalizing on the great events that take place in the area.

CBC's Peter Brown, host of "Radio Active", the CBC Radio afternoon program interviews CBC Reporter Tim Adams about new businesses and lots of great changes on Alberta Avenue.

Includes interviews with Christy Morin from Arts on the Ave and Norm Aldi.
