Canadian Badlands 

Canadian Badlands Ltd. is an organization that is

dedicated to establishing the badlands area of

southeast Alberta as the next tourism icon

destination that will complement the role played by the Canadian Rockies in attracting visitors

to Alberta.

 

The Canadian Badlands covers a large area of the province,

encompassing the area east of Highway 2 stretching from Stettler

in the north of the Montana border. A second icon destination will

keep visitors longer in the province and bring them back on future

visits. The majority of tourists and tourism revenue within Alberta

can be attributed to Albertans travelling within the province.

 

Therefore, in addition to making tourists aware of the many

attractions throughout southeast Alberta, a primary role of

Canadian Badlands Ltd. is to assist its member communities to

both enhance their existing attractions and develop new reasons

for travel throughout the area.

Southern Alberta Alternative Energy Partnership

 

The objective of the strategy is to facilitate the development of alternate energy systems and attract corresponding businesses. This allows our region to continue to build on our economic strengths as an alternative energy provider, while also introducing methods by which individuals and organizations in the region can become more self-sufficient energy users.

The three partner organizations, Economic Development Lethbridge, SouthGrow Regional Initiative and Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance have agreed to work collaboratively on this initiative, given that all three organizations have defined objectives towards this goal. Together, this group represents 37 municipalities in the south central region of the province.

Based on our available natural resources, existing expertise and established developments, the initiative will focus on 3 streams of alternative energy:

Solar
Wind
Bio-Energy – (including ethanol, bio-diesel and bio-mass).
