Future of Chinook Country Tourist Centre uncertain as it closes end of September Sep 10, 2018 6:18 AM

LETHBRIDGE – The Chinook Country Tourist Association Visitor Information Centre will close its doors for the season at the end of September, as questions remain about whether it will re-open again next summer.

Executive director Nikolaus says most services for RVs and other visitors, however, will remain accessible.

“This is all City of Lethbridge land, and the playground, the picnic shelter, the Sani-dump and all those things that RVs need will remain open. Unfortunately…. there’s a separate building with washrooms that typically closes Oct.1, due to… the freeze-up of pipes.”

However next year, it’s not clear whether the information centre will be back up and running. Wyslouzil says unless they can find other sources of funding or make an arrangement with Tourism Lethbridge to remain open, the tourist information centre may permanently close its doors.
