Jumping on the
tourism train
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter

Over 40 businesses from Strathmore and Wheat-


land County met on May 28 to discuss tourism
opportunities in the town and county and how to
Birth Forest become a stronger tourism hub.
The Your Business in Tourism forum, held at
Origin Malting and Brewing, was initiated by the
Page 15 Town of Strathmore’s tourism taskforce and was
supported by Strathmore and District Chamber of
Commerce and facilitated by Community Futures
Wild Rose.
The event was held to take stock of some of
the tourism assets in the area and to share ideas
about expanding the current assets and to create
new tourism assets in the region.
“Tourism is an important tool for economic de-
velopment in terms of business retention, busi-
Lacrosse tournament ness and investment attraction,” said Alexandra
Ross, economic development officer with the
Town of Strathmore. “It puts Strathmore on the
map and increases awareness of what we have
to offer. Over the course of the next 12 months
we will develop a lot of tools for our business
community.”
Held in coordination with Tourism Week, Ross
noted the event added to one of the key messages
of Tourism Alberta – that tourism works and if
tourism works, then businesses work.
The Town’s tourism taskforce was created with
the overall goal to establish a destination market-
ing organization for Strathmore and the region,
and Ross noted the forum was just the first step

com it is both National Chocolate Ice Cream Day and National Doughnut Day. Chocolate ice cream is the
second most common flavor, surpassed only by vanilla, and has been popular in North America since the
