What is PREDA? Videos – Canada’s Peace Region
The Peace Region Economic Development Alliance (PREDA) is one of 9 Regional Economic Development Alliances (REDA) in the province of Alberta.
PREDA is a partnership of 26 municipalities and 10 community groups working together to guide regional economic development of Alberta’s northwest – affectionately referred to as the Peace Region (click here for profile). Membership also includes Northern Lakes College, Northwestern Polytech, our Community Futures (Peace Country and Grande Prairie); and our Chambers of Commerce. These regional members provide data on small businesses, entrepreneurs, and skilled trade and services needed across the region.
PREDA was incorporated under The Companies Act of Alberta in October 2000. (Incorporation Seal)
Our Mission is to continue to grow a vibrant economy that explores, promotes and facilitates new emerging opportunities, competitiveness and innovation.
Our Vision is one where the Peace Country has: planned and balanced growth; strong stewardship of its resources; and the ability to proactively manage economic change.
