After thorough consideration, the Celebration of Excellence Committee, consisting of representatives from the Drumheller Rotary Club, Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, Town of Drumheller and Travel Drumheller, has made the difficult decision to officially cancel the Celebration of Excellence for 2020.

Initially planned for June 11, the event was put on pause with the hopes of rescheduling in the fall. However, the event has an expected attendance of over 200 people and there is still uncertainty over whether or not an indoor event of this size and nature could be held in the fall. Various options to hold the event virtually were explored, but committee members agreed that this particular event has a much greater impact for the community when all can gather and celebrate in person.

The Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday, July 15, 2020 @ 7:00pm. The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Attendees MUST pre-register no later than July 13 to receive the meeting link and package. Register here or call (403-823-8100).

One of Drumheller’s main attractions and a key driver of local economic activity is being refurbished in time for its upcoming 20^th anniversary, thanks in part to a federal investment of $200,000 through the Canadian Experiences Fund.

The World’s Largest Dinosaur (WLD), an iconic attraction in the heart of the Drumheller Valley, will undergo a scenic transformation of its exterior over the next month—ensuring it remains a key attraction for the Canadian Badlands.
