History of the Nisku Business
Association |
|
|
|
At 2 p.m. on January 14th, 1976, a
meeting was held in the boardroom of
Sparrow Industries Ltd., Nisku building,
for the purpose of organizing a
committee of firms from Nisku Industrial
Park to discuss matters of mutual
interest and concern. Discussion
centered on the need for a bank in Nisku,
proposed bus service for the Park,
concern about security for businesses,
plans to develop a recreational park for
Nisku workers, and a commitment from
every company to supply two volunteers
for fire protection purposes.
The Association, which grew out of this
committee, was incorporated under the
Societies Act of Alberta on January
13th, 1977 as the Nisku Industrial Park
Businessmen’s Association (NIPBA). In
November of 1984, the Association
officially changed its name to the Nisku
Business Association (NBA).
Directed by a volunteer Board of
Directors, installed annually, the Nisku
Business Association has taken on many
challenges and projects. Lobby efforts
have included the Association
petitioning for the construction of a
highway overpass into the Park, a Nisku
Post Office, and improvement of roads in
the Business Park. NBA membership, which
has multiplied six fold since 1976, has
often united, to provide the Association
with the backing necessary to achieve
success.
