A number of construction projects are already underway for the beautification and revitalization of some of Ponoka's open park spaces.
Additionally, the Town's trail systems are currently undergoing work to better connect the existing trails throughout the community.
"We’re very fortunate here in Ponoka to have an ample amount of playgrounds and we provide a lot of structured recreation play. We’re happy to provide a new type of recreation that incorporates some quality of life components for residents of all ages and demographics," said Andrew Jones, Recreation Coordinator for the Town.
There is something special about driving across the causeway to Cape Breton Island that evokes the feeling of a different time and place.
Nova Scotia's topography begins to change almost instantly. The landscape appears more rugged and untouched. Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean glisten under the morning sun, and mountainous terrain unfolds in the distance.
Cape Breton is the perfect place for an off-grid adventure in the great outdoors. Iron Mountain Wilderness Cabins, located on top of Whycocomagh Mountain, provides its guests with a true off-the-grid experience.
A consortium has asked the provincial government to allocate $680 million of their planned $1.5 billion recovery package to supporting tourism, a request supported by Tourism Sun Peaks (TSP) and other regional tourism organizations.
“Assistance for the many small businesses that make up the tourism experience is crucial in maintaining a strong product for both the short and long term,” said Arlene Schieven, president of TSP. “If our member businesses are able to access some of this support, then there is a greater likelihood that they will be able to keep their doors open through these uncertain times.”
In June the province asked for input from residents and announced an online survey and series of virtual town hall meetings.
