Celebrate Economic Development Week With Vulcan County
Vulcan County Council has officially proclaimed May 4–8, 2026, as Economic Development Week, recognizing the critical role economic development plays in fostering a strong, resilient, and vibrant community.
For more than 50 years, Economic Developers Alberta (EDA) has served as Alberta’s leading economic development network, advancing the profession through valuable resources, training, and networking opportunities. In alignment with this legacy, Vulcan County joins communities across the province in celebrating the professionals and partnerships that drive economic growth and opportunity.
Economic developers are at the forefront of building strong local economies. Their work supports job creation and retention, encourages business expansion, and strengthens the local tax base. By championing entrepreneurship and innovation, they help launch the next generation of businesses that will shape Alberta’s future.
Throughout Economic Development Week, Vulcan County will celebrate the people, businesses, and opportunities that make the region unique.
Highlights of the week include:
- The launch of a brand-new economic development website: explorevulcancounty.com
- Introduction of an upgraded online business directory
- Highlights on projects from around the County
- A special social media giveaway
