Chetwynd urged to advertise own attractions to draw tourists
The letter urges Chetwynd to promote local sites such as the Little Prairie Heritage Museum and nearby parks, arguing current signs are insufficient. It compares to Chemaius on Vancouver Island, which built a tourism boost through murals and grants, and suggests Chetwynd capitalize on wind and a stronger downtown presentation to attract visitors.
