Sunrise Corner Tourism & Economic Development

The Sunrise Corner Economic Development initiative was developed in 2016 as a partnership between the RMs of Piney and Stuartburn, with influence from the Piney Regional Chamber of Commerce, with a focus in tourism.

Monique Chenier, economic development officer, has managed the Sunrise Corner initiative since 2019, which includes: housing, business development, tourism, marketing and governance. Monique is the vice president of the Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) and accreditation chair, supporting public relations professionals in their career development. Monique’s role is to promote the region for new residents and visitors, and to attract businesses to invest in the region through social media, marketing initiatives and attending local events.

In addition to tourism, Sunrise Corner is now focused on building a sustainable regional approach: helping new businesses launch and existing businesses expand, growing jobs through our abundant natural resources and agricultural sector, and working towards solutions for issues like housing options for seniors and families, and accommodations for tourists and temporary workers.
