Differences Between Lacombe And Surrounding Areas

Decent Essays
I am writing to discuss some concerns I have about Lacombe and surrounding areas. Concerning Tourism and culture I do not think there is much of either. Lacombe’s best feature is probably the small coffee shops and most likely the most touristy spots. Of course, there is only a few of these and when someone says tourist hot spots you don’t really think of Lacombe or the surrounding areas of Lacombe. Lacombe, Red Deer, Edmonton etc. are more places to live rather than tour so we are not getting much income from that department, I think if we spruced up some of these areas we might earn some more money from tourists. If we earn more from tourists we could pay off some more of the debt we have. Although, I do think our debt should be taken care

    In my hometown of Canastota, NY there are a few different environmental impacts that affect the community, some good and some bad.

By having marginal places to go to, one can have a place to escape from the real world to do activities that do not really account for any economical values. Simply doing activities like throwing rocks, shooting frogs, making forts, and climbing trees seem to have no purpose whatsoever to most people, but to Frazier these activities were valuable. These activities were valuable to Frazier because he did not have to feel the pressure of society to actually have…
