The Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission has been awarded the Community Project award.
The announcement was made by the British Columbia Economic Development Association at the 2016 B.C. Economic Development Awards in Richmond, B.C.
The COEDC was awarded the title (for communities over 20,000) for its Make Digital Media Here Workforce & Investment Attraction campaign.
“The objective of the campaign was to create awareness of and contribute to the growth of the tech sector in the Central Okanagan through multilayered, yet focused, programming that includes tactics to attract qualified talent, alumni as well as promote the Okanagan as a place for gaming, animation and digital media companies to relocate or expand,” writes the COEDC.
“This award is so well deserved. The work that went into this campaign was tireless and our local studio is using this campaign as a tool to successfully hire and relocate over 50 new residents to Kelowna,” states Ashley Ramsay, CEO of Yeti Farm Creative.
