Lack of interpretive centre at Milk River to welcome tourists embarrassing

Editor:
We are disappointed and embarrassed over the treatment of visitors to our province. When our guests are finally approved to enter our country from the United States by our customs officers, the overall intimidating – at times – barrage of questions designed to ensure the legitimacy of their entry and anxiety of the experience of crossing the border inspires the driver to put the pedal to the metal.
Approaching Milk River, as the first sign of civilization the visitors notice there is no longer a much-needed interpretive rest stop open where the dog could be walked, the horses watered and the kids allowed to run some stink off while the navigators receive a warm and informative welcome to our province.
The government is trying to sell the idea of visiting our amazing tourist sites in Alberta and they close one of the very engaging and interesting interpretive centres close to the Canada-American border.
It’s an embarrassment to southern Albertans.

It will be open this year.
LOL – one would hope the writer and/or the Herald editor would’ve confirmed this before publishing it
