Community Futures Crowsnest Pass, in partnership with all southern Alberta Community Futures offices,  was recently recognized by EDA for their work on Alberta Youth Entrepreneur Camp (AYEC) in the category of Community Economic Development for Large community/region.  They also received the Alex Metcalfe Award recognizing the "best of the best" community projects in each category.

A partnership of Community Futures Crowsnest Pass, Community Futures Alberta Southwest, and Southwest Regional Economic Development Alliance (Alberta SouthWest) has launched a new online presence, www.InvestSouthwestAlberta.com.

The website’s purpose is to serve as a gateway and catalyst to regional business investment. The initiative is the second phase of a program which began in 2014 entitled “Bringing Investment Home” which has engaged and received input and support from all 16 municipalities that make up the Alberta SouthWest region.

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.
