Membership Program
The region of the South Canadian Rockies is one of the most beautiful and undeveloped tourism destinations in the province of Alberta. Our intention is to support the development of a strong tourism sector within our vibrant communities. We do this by providing a framework for operators and the broader communities to collaborate in the areas of marketing tourism, infrastructure development, labour attraction, seasonal attraction balance, and more.
