The Crowsnest Heritage Initiative is a community group interested in preserving and promoting heritage in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. Its principal goal is to enhance cultural and heritage tourism opportunities in the Crowsnest Pass in order to preserve important heritage resources, increase community involvement and awareness, and increase tourism traffic and business revenue. Its principal function is to act as a coordinating agent in marketing, fundraising, project implementation, research and planning. For the most part the community partners, heritage organizations, and volunteers will be responsible for the implementation of projects. Most of these projects stem from the 2002 Crowsnest Heritage Master Plan.

If you are interested in joining the Crowsnest Heritage Initiative, either as a corporate partner or as an individual volunteer, or would like to contribute in another way, please contact Sacha Anderson sacha@communityfuturescnp.ca. Comments on this website may be directed to lynnian@shaw.ca.
