Shaunavon's Economic Development Committee is working to promote tourism, not only in Shaunavon, but all over the southwest.

Mike Greenlay is the Chairman of the Shaunavon EDC and says we've got great tourist attractions here including Grasslands and Cypress Hills Parks, the Climax Museum, Honeybee Manufacturing in Frontier, the T Rex Discovery Center and cottage industries in Eastend, as well as the Sandhills.

He says the EDC is looking to form a Regional Tourism Initiative. "We're looking at a Regional Initiative, maybe including some communities around the area, basically promoting what we have in the area. And, basically,  we're looking at all the things that might attract people within sort of a half a days drive."

Greenlay says they would like to set Shaunavon up as the hub of the initiative, because of the great camping areas, restaurants and accommodations available.
