Town of Eston welcomes new Economic Development Officer

By Joan Janzen

ESTON - Last week the Town of Eston welcomed Jaime Smith as their new Community Economic Development Officer. Jaime is a familiar face in her hometown of Eston, where she grew up and graduated from high school. After an absence of 18 years spent in the big city of Calgary, she and her two young sons returned to Eston.

In her new role, she’s excited to build on current events and activities that are currently offered, and find new ideas that appeal to all ages. She spent her first week at work focusing on finalizing what the previous economic development officer had started and working on plans for the Summer Bull Bash which will be held in mid-June.

Although Jaime has only been at the office for a few days, she’s already been working on a promotional video highlighting events and businesses the town has to offer.
