The Town of Drumheller is promoting May 17-23rd 2010 as “Be a tourist in your own town” week. For the fourth year in a row, the town will be running an awareness advertising campaign with local media to encourage everyone to rediscover the unique attractions and spectacular scenery of the valley.

The promotion creates local awareness for the products, services and attractions in our town.

Thursday, April 22 is Earth Day and in recognition of this event Drumheller residents and local businesses are encouraged to take part in the First Annual Drumheller Valley Trash Challenge. To take part all you need to do is dedicate a small portion of your day to cleaning an area that is near and dear to you. Garbage bags will be available for free at the Heartwood Inn & Spa on April 21 and 22 and people are asked to bring the collected garbage back to the Heartwood Inn & Spa to the drop off point across the street when finished.

DRUMHELLER- February 19, 2010- At the February 16, 2010 Town of Drumheller Council Meeting, Council agreed unanimously to appoint a Task Force to review parking options on the portion of 3rd Avenue between 2nd Street West and 1st Street East.

It was a fabulous weekend in Drumheller (January 15 and 16th 2010) After 15 months of planning, the Olympic Torch Relay Celebration was a huge success. It all started on Friday night with the Downtown Merchants hosting a "Paint the Town Red" event. Stores were open late, there were "red dollars" available, street hockey, a youth group was selling hot chocolate and hot dogs and CUPE Local 4604 was giving away hot chocolate at the Drumheller Aquaplex. The Inn and Spas at the Heartwood made an Olympic Inukshuk with donated cans of food. There were over 1000 cans donated to the food bank.

Weather can play an important part in this Olympic Torch celebration. Too much wind could hamper the fireworks. Too much snow/rain/wind could hamper the celebration. Make sure you listen to Q91 or 99.5 DRUM FM for any possible changes in the schedule.
