To Whom It May Concern
Re: City of Chilliwack – A great place to locate your business!
In 2002, TEKSmed Services Inc., a national leader in WCB injury management and healthcare solutions, established their corporate headquarters in Chilliwack. The decision to move to Chilliwack was done after reviewing numerous other communities in the Fraser Valley and British Columbia. All of us at TEKSmed Services Inc., are very pleased with what the City of Chilliwack has to offer. Chilliwack is a wonderful community as it combines a low cost of living and abundant recreational opportunities with brand new recreational centers and a commitment to business retention, expansion and attraction. This commitment to business was one of the major factors influencing our decision to relocate. Moreover, it is apparent that the city’s reputation of being “business friendly” stems from the top down, as interested businesses can simply “Call the Mayor” in order to discuss what Chilliwack has to offer. In addition, the City’s economic development agency, Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, affectively recruits new businesses while assisting companies in the community with issues such as expansion and development. TEKSmed Services is confident that Chilliwack will provide the infrastructure, resources and opportunities required for our business to grow with the community while simultaneously helping Canada work. In closing, I would recommend Chilliwack as a location for your business as it lives up to its reputation as “a great place to live, work, play and prosper.”
