Department of Economic Development Director is Keren Ruller.

The District of the Municipality of St. Mary’s is committed to making St. Mary’s a place where people can work and live through helping keep, grow, and attract business, talent, and investment. This is achieved through supporting councils’ economic development priorities including Housing, Climate Initiatives, Resource Development of Wood Products, Fishing/Aquaculture, and Tourism to name a few.

Together we can make the connections that fuel business and economic growth.

One of 2025’s successful Economic Development projects is a new tourism website that helps get St. Mary’s on the map while showcasing the businesses, activities, and natural beauty of District of the Municipality of St. Mary’s.
