$120,000 in provincial funding will go to the Highway 3 Alberta Tourism Corridor Development Project, backing a tourism-led economic push across southern Alberta.
The grant comes through Alberta's Northern and Regional Economic Development fund, which the province said will help unlock new business activity and employment opportunities.
The corridor project links communities and organizations from Medicine Hat to the south Canadian Rockies in what officials described as a more connected regional approach.
Tourism Lethbridge, the Town of Taber and Waterton Lakes National Park are among the participants expected to help shape the initiative's tourism and development plans.
How will this tourism funding directly benefit local businesses and Indigenous communities along the Highway 3 corridor?
Beyond cash, what policy changes will unlock southern Alberta's full $25 billion tourism potential?
Can a $120,000 grant truly boost Alberta's multi-billion dollar tourism sector, or is it merely a symbolic gesture?
