In recognition of its achievement of the “Discover Crowsnest” Outdoor Signage Program, Crowsnest Heritage Initiative was recently awarded the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation’s Heritage Awareness Award.
A thoughtfully designed initiative, this coordinated system of outdoor interpretive heritage signs helps bring the history of Crowsnest Pass alive. Some signs are located at places of heritage significance while other are located to enhance the self-guided heritage driving route and community walking tours throughout the Crowsnest Pass.
The program employs a comprehensive scope that includes multimedia, printed maps, brochures and a web portal with bold professional branding. Highly visible, the signage stands out to visitors travelling on the highway and is easily identified on buildings and orientation kiosks.
Well-written and presented with illustrations from the exceptional archival resources of the Crowsnest Museum, locals and tourists alike will discover much of the region’s rich history.
