Tourism: David Thompson Country      

David Thompson Country is Alberta’s newest tourism region, formed and named through the joint efforts of the Town of Rocky Mountain House, the Village of Caroline and Clearwater County and the three local Chambers of Commerce. In 2017 the regional partners conducted a Visitor Friendly Assessment. The Central Alberta Destination Management Plan (2015) provides a road map for tourism growth in our region.

Downtown Storefront Improvement Program        

The program provides a one-time matching grant to business owners and property owners located in the downtown commercial area to renovate their storefronts, in accordance with the Town's architectural guidelines.

The Town of Rocky Mountain House will provide $2,500 for any storefront project greater than $5,000 in construction value. For projects less than $5,000, the town will pay 50% of the construction value.
