Innisfail is going strong!

A shout out to INNISFAIL whose pulled citizens together in their "Envision Innisfail" Planning. This has resulted in accomplishments that just keep on coming and coming.

Of note are their much appreciated off leash dog park (for our canine community members!), Neighbourhood Block Party Toolkit, Green and Clean Community Clean Up (500 community members participated!) and community gardens. Meeting places and gathering spaces, in fact, seem to be the theme for Innisfail with their earlier Dr. Greg Ritson-Bennett Park redevelopment (total budget was $113,000) and a planned downtown Community Gathering area (a $538,000 project).

It is also significant to note that the Town’s Envision Innisfail project and a youth leader from Innisfail were 2011 Recipients for the Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Leadership. Keep up the great work, Innisfail!
