Mystery Shopper Program
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Competitactics and The Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce have partnered to bring our members the Mystery Shopper Program. What is Mystery Shopping? Mystery Shopping is a form of market research. Posing as a typical customer, the mystery shopper observes service quality in an establishment. An effective mystery shopper is careful to blend in with other customers so as not to be ‘discovered’. Mystery Shopping is an effective way to identify gaps and best practices within an organization by observing how the business operates under everyday conditions.

HIDEAWAY PICTURES is a newly formed production company based here in Sudbury whose mandate is to create long lasting cinema in the North. “Northern Boys, their first feature film, revolves around the lives of four boys, growing up in a small Northern mining town. As they try to break away from the economic hardships of life, they discover that the decisions they choose to make now, will define their entire lives.
Writer, Actor and Executive Producer, David Joseph Anselmo has returned home to his roots to pen this wonderful tale loosely based on his life experiences growing up in Sudbury. After a very successful career in the Foreign Film industry, Mr. Anselmo has always envisioned this project as his first for HIDEAWAY PICTURES.
Mr. Anselmo is currently in Sudbury and is available for one on one interview throughout the next few months leading up to the event. For more detailed information on HIDEAWAY PICTURES AND THE HOLLYWOOD MYSTIQUE GALA, refer to the press packages we are passing out to you or visit
