The City of Spruce Grove is located within the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, a robust hub of just under 2 million people. “At every level of government, the region has taken advantage of a variety of services to help businesses grow.” That’s what one business owner said about doing business in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. Another said, this... “is where we need to be to be globally competitive.”

From Spruce Grove, you can access a market of 1.5 billion people. This makes it cost-effective to do business in Canada, and even to manufacture here. 

“We don’t need to look at going overseas to do manufacturing. We can do it here with quality control and high standards.” Watch to discover the region's many advantages.
