Our guest today was Eve O'Leary, executive director of PRED (Portage Regional Economic Development), pictured here with fellow Rotarian Nathan Peto.
Nathan works closely with Eve in his role as City Manager. She took some time to share the many facets of PRED which include, investment attraction, business retention and expansion, tourism and building community and stakeholder partnerships. She noted that the City of Portage la Prairie and the RM of Portage's ability to work collaboratively is highly regarded on a national level. This spirit of working together has helped attract some major investments in our area. Thanks for joining us Eve.
