The Town of Rocky Mountain House is no longer considering a landmark project.
On November 27, 2024, Council passed the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council take the landmark project out of the 2025 Budget.
The 2023-2026 Strategic Plan identified Building our Tourism Sector as one of Council’s four main priorities. Council indicated it would like to see a notable downtown landmark or attraction developed in support of this goal.
A landmark has the potential to be highly visible within the community, so Council can expect sensitivities around cost and cultural considerations. With these two points at the forefront, Council directed Administration to conduct a public engagement plan between June and August 2024.

Council adopted a new Strategic Plan on October 15, 2024. It is based on the five pillars of community sustainability: Economic, Social, Environmental, Cultural, and Governance.
While Economic Sustainability Goals still support a growing tourism sector, a landmark is no longer included in the Strategic Plan.
There will be no further updates on this project.
