Community Icon Passport

Alberta Icon Passport launched

www.AlbertaIcons.com

They’re gigantic. They’re amazing. They are not found anywhere else in the world and they are
right here in Alberta!
The Passport to Alberta’s Community Icons has been recently launched. Twenty four communities
across Alberta have signed on with the project to promote the icons located in their communities.
The project, spearheaded by Woodlands County, is being
launched in partnership with Travel Alberta.
“So many people travel outside of the province for vacations,
but what they might not know is what they can fi nd right in their
own backyards,” says Jim Rennie, Mayor of Woodlands County
and one of the creators of the icon passport.
“This passport highlights 24 communities which have built
unique icons over the years to attract visitors. Some of the icons
are the largest in the world, some the largest in Canada and
some are just completely unique. But each of the communities
has more to offer than the chance to see a neat icon. You can
camp, you can hike, you can tour museums – the vacation opportunities
in these communities is endless,” added Rennie.
Travellers who have a passport and vacation to the various
communities, can get the passport stamped at the locations
mentioned in the booklet. The passports can then be mailed
in before the end of the year for a chance to win prizes worth
$500, $300 and $100.
Passports are available at various locations throughout Alberta.
