I was really surprised that 60% did their shopping locally. That is a good sign. Just over half of the community go to Pincher to shop (Wal-Mart). That seems such a shame, as we could have had Wal-mart here. Imagine the jobs it would have provided and the convenience.

71% of the people polled do their shopping in the city. It is too bad that we have to leave out community to find what we need.

I was very pleased to see that 60% tried to do their shopping locally however did have to leave the Pass for the rest of their shopping needs. This same 60% felt that if there was more choice and selection, they would do this same shoppoing locally.
