As most of you know, the Rocky Mountain Trade Corridor and Alberta Economic Development have
co-sponsored a border workshop twice a year for the past eleven years. This workshop has assisted
hundreds of businesses in their efforts in doing business in both the U.S. and Canada.

Last fall’s event was co-sponsored by Export Link, a specialized service of The Business Link
Business Service Center and the Rocky Mountain Trade Corridor. However Alberta Economic Development
still remains as a program partner.

This year’s spring event will be held on April 14th and 15th . The April 14th part of the session is
sponsored by Export Link and will be held at the Holiday Inn Express in Lethbridge, Alberta.

The April 15th part of the session is sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Trade Corridor and will again
be held at the Coutts Community Center. A tour of the new joint border crossing facility will again
be held.
