Starting and growing a business in Airdrie is now easier with the launch of BizPaL, a convenient one-stop online service with permit and licence information saving time spent on paperwork and helping entrepreneurs start up faster.
"We are thrilled and proud to provide this innovative program to Airdrie businesses," says Airdrie Mayor, Linda Bruce. "BizPaL is a brilliant business tool simplifying access to essential information, helping business owners grow their business and entrepreneurs to start a business."

BizPaL is a brilliant business tool simplifying access to essential information, helping business owners grow their business and entrepreneurs to start a business. |
BizPaL is an online service, accessed through the City of Airdrie website, helping businesses identify which permits and licences they require and how to obtain them. Entrepreneurs simply answer a series of questions on the type of business they want to start or expand and the activities they plan to undertake. BizPaL then automatically generates a list of all required permits and licences from all levels of government, along with basic information on each, and links to government sites where the entrepreneur can learn more and, in some cases, apply online.
The BizPaL initiative was developed by the Government of Canada and is being made available by the Alberta government to all municipalities in the province at no cost to them. The provincial government is working with municipalities to expand BizPaL province-wide in the years ahead.
"BizPaL is a great tool for new and expanding businesses, and will be a tremendous resource for the growing Airdrie business community," said Service Alberta Minister Heather Klimchuk. "It saves both time and money by giving businesspeople quick access to all the information they need about permits and licences required by every level of government."
Currently, 10 provinces and territories are participating in the BizPaL program, with more than 150 municipalities offering the service. Airdrie was the second Alberta municipality, behind Edmonton, to officially launch a BizPal site.
Informed buyers and informed sellers look at the facts
The facts right now indicate the real estate resale market is starting to stabilize. Sales activity in September was slightly under the same month last year. In Calgary in September, there were 2,006 sales at an average price of $390,599. That is a decrease of six per cent from September 2007. Canadian home sellers are under no financial duress to sell, and a number may decide to take their home off the market should it remain unsold when the listing expires. The resulting decline in listings should assist the balance of sales and new listings to realign.
This Fall there have been a number of initiatives that should have a positive effect in the near future, the Canadian Government's decision to invest $25 billion in insured mortgage pools, the recent drop in the Bank of Canada rate, and the new rules reducing the maximum amortization to 35 years instead of 40.
Statistics show that the Canadian real estate market is not following U.S. housing trends.
