Fredericton has been named one of the World's Top 7 Intelligent Communities by the New York based Intelligent Community Forum (ICF). Each year, ICF presents an awards program for Intelligent Communities and the public-sector and private-sector partners who contribute to them. The goal of the awards program is to raise awareness of how communities have successfully driven local prosperity in the Broadband Economy. Fredericton's inclusion in the Top 7 is a significant recognition and we're telling everybody our strengths in self-sustaining programs, smart growth and green development.

Fredericton has "World Class Smarts", and we're encouraging the community to collectively come together to say what we already know is true: "Fredericton is a smart place to do business"! And, when you're recruiting in today's challenging and competitive labour market, it's clearly a smart place to live too! That's why we put together some ideas to help you take advantage of this international recognition in your place of business like using the logos on your collateral and marketing materials.
Click HERE to access samples of how you can use the ICF recognition in the following ways: footer design to include in advertising (posters, recruitment ads, newspaper ads); e-mail signature; letterhead; Powerpoint presentations; website homepage; corporate boilerplate description with Fredericton brand and "top 7" designation integrated; and banner display to use at company events, in your lobby area or other appropriate location internally or externally. We encourage you to change the sizes and colours to match your own branding style.
