Alberta’s reigning political party, the Progressive Conservatives, will be paying Drumheller a visit over the weekend.
This weekend, Premier Alison Redford and members of her Progressive Consertative Cabinet will visit Drumheller as part of a sweeping Building Alberta Tour.
On August 31, Redford and Dr. Richard Starke, Minister of Tourism, Parks, and Recreation will visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum, with a stop later in the day at the Hoodoos.
The tour will be the first official stop Redford has made in Drumheller since the last provincial election campaign in April 2012.
So far, the tour has taken Redford and her cabinet through Northern Alberta and parts of Southern Alberta, including Vauxhall and Lethbridge.
The tour was designed to reach out to Albertans, discuss local and provincial issues, and help support local tourism.
