Brochure highlights sustainable development in Crowsnest Pass

Real estate professionals and buyers looking for property in the Crowsnest Pass have a new resource to inform them about development in this Alberta area known for its recreational opportunities, thanks to an Alberta Real Estate Foundation (AREF) initiative to fund the Crowsnest Conservation Society (www.crowsnestconservation.ca).

A brochure, Crowsnest Pass: Stewardship for Sustainability, synthesizes topics of importance for potential homebuyers in the area, with sections entitled: Living with Wildlife, Bear Smart, Wildlife Corridors around Highway 3 and the Railroad, Connecting With Nature and Responsible Recreation.

Crowsnest conservation program manager Jenice Smith says the financial support allowed it to hire a professional graphic designer and print the brochure for distribution through local real estate companies.

The brochure is a tool for real estate professionals to pass on to their clients to highlight community values that attract clients to the area. It also sends a message of maintaining those values for long-term community viability and sustainability.
