  • Pincher Creek, Alberta Introduction
    Assessment Findings & Suggestions June 2007 Pincher Creek, Alberta INTRODUCTION First impressions and some ideas to increase tourism spending In June of 2007, a Community Tourism Assessment of Pincher Creek, Alberta was conducted, and the findings were presented in a two-hour workshop. The assessment provides an unbiased overview of the community – how it is seen by a visitor. It includes a review of local marketing efforts, signs, at- tractions, critical mass, retail mix, ease of getting around, customer service, visitor amenities such as parking and public wash rooms, overall appeal, and the community’s ability to attract overnight visitors. In performing the “Community Assessment,” we looked at the area through the eyes of a first-time visitor. No prior research was facilitated, and no com- munity representatives were contacted except to set up the project, and the town and surrounding area were “secretly shopped.” There are two primary elements to the assessment process: First is the “Mar- keting Effectiveness Assessment.” How easy is it for potential visitors to find information about the commu- nity or area? Once they find information, are your marketing materials good enough to close the sale? In the Marketing Effectiveness Assessment, we as- signed two (or more) people to plan trips into the general region. They did not know, in advance, who the assessment was for. They used whatever re- sources they would typically use in planning a trip: travel guides, brochures, the internet, calling visitor information centers, review of marketing materials, etc. - just as you might do in planning a trip to a “new” area or destination.

  • Trail Talk Trail Talk New Club in the Rocky Area Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association
    From the presidents handlebars Winter has come and gone and for us Albertans it wasn’t much of a winter. The opportunity arises for riding like no other time of the year. No bugs, no dust, no mud and everything is frozen. All this, plus the long distance travel across muskegs, beaver ponds and creeks that would otherwise be formidable obstacles. This is not saying one doesn’t have to ride smart. There still those steep down hills that may be iced up . trapping the unwary in a valley with no exit. Or the pesky ice flows that invariably are perpendicular to the trail and if not negotiated just right, will carry one off down hill on an unintended toboggan ride. From my place here in Sundre, a few short minutes west in the foothills, there are numerous long distance loops that I can Cal Rakach doing trail inventory at the Cardinal take advantage of on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

  • Springbank Airtanker Base Allows Faster Response to Wildfires in the Southern Rockies
    Providing safe and secure communities September 9, 2007 Springbank airtanker base allows faster response to wildfires in the southern Rockies Calgary... The Alberta government has opened a new airtanker base at Springbank airport southwest of Calgary, providing area Albertans with better protection from the threat of wildfire. “The new Springbank airtanker base allows Sustainable Resource Development to meet its operational goal of responding within 30 minutes to wildfires in areas near Canmore, Bragg Creek, Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley,” said Sustainable Resource Development (SRD) Minister Ted Morton. The airtanker base was moved to Springbank after SRD was advised that its existing lease at the Calgary International Airport would not be renewed beyond 2003. A subsequent review identified Springbank as the most effective location for a replacement airtanker base. Funding for the Springbank airtanker base upgrade was announced as part of Budget 2005. In 2006, SRD signed a long-term lease for the airtanker base with the Calgary Airport Authority, which administers Springbank airport. Upgrades on the site began in May of that year. The base became operational in July of this year at a cost of $6.5 million. SRD provided wildfire support for the southern Rockies during the 2004 through 2006 fire seasons through the joint efforts of the Pincher Creek and Rocky Mountain House air tanker bases. Protecting communities from wildfire is part of Premier Ed Stelmach’s plan for providing safe and secure communities for Albertans. Other priorities for the Government of Alberta are to govern with integrity and transparency, manage growth pressures, improve Albertans’ quality of life and build a stronger Alberta.

First the plan is published in the U.S. Feder­ al Register. After a 30 day public notification GJti&. period, the plan will be sent to John E. Cook, National Park Service Intermountain Region director, for his signature. When he signs, at last, the plan is final. The final version of the General Manage­ ment Plan is more a guide on how to proceed rather than a detailed plan of action. The goal remains to preserve Glacier as a "classic western national park". The top priority is the reconstruction of Going-to-the-Sun road. Instead of the old alter­ native where the road would be repaired on a fast track schedule with the west side to Logan Pass closed for up to two years and the east side up to Logan Pass closed for another two ,___?« MACLEOD' years, now the Park suggests a procedure to develop a plan but no plan is proposed.
