We have made some changes to our membership structure.  After reviewing what we offer to our members compared to other tourism associations, we realized we could raise our fees by a small amount and still offer more services for less money than most areas of the province.  As we rely heavily on membership funding to operate full time, year round, we have tried to base our new fees on our funding needs while keeping them low for our small business members.  Please take a look at the following options.

 Personal/Friends of Tourism:  $125 /yr.  Available to individuals wishing to support the development and promotion of tourism in the Peace Country. Members will recieve one line listing in an appropriate category on Mightypeace.com.

  • promote regional events
  • create more Peace Country Ambassadors
  • spread Word of Mouth advertising
  • grow our social media network
  • find new events and attractions to promote
  • develop online testimonial database
  • increase tourism activity in the region
  • expand our photo library
  • discover new and potential product
  • increase exposure within the region

How can you help?

Once we have a database developed we will let you know how to invite friends, family and colleges to participate
