High River's Mayor's pretty happy about the Town's new economic ranking.

The Magazine "Canadian Business and Fortune" has ranked High River as the fifth best place in Canada to do business.

Craig Snodgrass says considering we're three years out from the flood, it's amazing.

"You look at where we started from, and I giggle about it. Because it kind of shocked me that people are paying that much attention to us already. And knowing where we're headed. But, a lot of people had written this town off as 'we're toast' and I think it says a lot about the decisions we've made."

Snodgrass says when you do it right, it doesn't take long for people to start paying attention.

Snodgrass says the ranking will go a long way towards selling the town as being "open for business."
