Community Involvement

The Chamber of Commerce is highly involved in promoting the community of Drumheller, not only its businesses, but groups that are dedicated to making Drumheller the best place to live.

Through our community involvement by way of the legacy fund or service hours by our members and volunteers, we assist Drumheller to become a better place to live, work & play.

Legacy Fund

Since its formation in 2005, the World's Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund has donated $467,850 to Drumheller organizations.  The Legacy Fund donates semi-annually in March and again in September to community groups that demonstrate self-sufficiency in their own fundrising efforts and a viable contribution to the community of Drumheller.
