After an oil spill last month, Sundre is noticeably quiet this summer.
An owner of a rafting store in the town tells The Calgary Herald he estimates this season’s business is down about 80 per cent, forcing him to cut employee hours.
To help boost tourism before the warm weather is over, Sundre’s chamber of commerce is hosting a rally Monday to raise awareness about all the fun activities the town has to offer.
Residents say they think travelers are assuming the town is off-limits because of the pipeline spill in the Red Deer River on June 7th.
