Here is a note from one of our visitors to the Valley.

Hi,

We recently had a great holiday in Canada. But besides not expecting the Tyrrell museum to be so good. The highlight of the trip was when we meet this cute little Ground Squirrel? at the Hoo Doo's. What a lady! She sure made a great Ambassador for Drumheller. I hope she keeps safe. Picture attached.

Thanks,

Here is a portion of a blog from a visitor to Drumheller. We were pleased they paid us a visit.

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.
