Throughout the snowy season visitors to will enjoy outdoor patios and hot chocolate on the hill, and sure to melt the snow. Aimed at increasing regional visitation, the campaign is targeted at northern Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan markets.

Our goal is to help tell Edmonton's and we can share those unique and interesting stories through our social media channels and on the website."
