Regional alliance promotes airport collaboration rather than competition among communities

The Southwest Alberta Regional Alliance, also known in short as Alberta Southwest, is forming a partnership with four local governments and its airports in the region. 

The facilities in Cardston County, the MD of Pincher Creek, MD of Willow Creek, and Town of Fort Macleod, are each unique in their own way. 

The idea is to collaborate, rather than compete, and bring out each of the different features the airports provide.

In the case of Pincher Creek, for example, it has a 6,600 foot strip with landing lights that already has an air tanker base, and is used for air ambulance transfers.
