The Town of Rocky Mountain House, together with Clearwater County, has received significant provincial recognition for their cooperative efforts. Most notably, in 2013, both municipalities—joined by the Village of Caroline—signed the "Stronger Together" agreement, which formalized their longstanding commitment to collaboration. This initiative was supported by a provincial collaborative governance grant and set a framework for enhancing partnerships, sharing municipal services, and resolving mutual concerns1.
In addition, Clearwater County received the 2017 Minister's Award for Municipal Excellence (Innovation category) for their "Sasquatch and Partners" campaign, a collaborative marketing initiative aimed at promoting environmental stewardship among recreational visitors, highlighting the positive outcomes of their regional cooperation2.
More recently, the Rocky Mountain House and District Chamber of Commerce was recognized with the 2024 Chamber of the Year Award, noting their Community Transformation Initiative—an effort spearheaded alongside the Town of Rocky Mountain House and Clearwater County that improved municipal-business collaboration, youth engagement, housing, and non-profit partnerships3. This acknowledgment further demonstrates the ongoing collaborative spirit in the region.
These provincial awards and recognitions underscore the strong culture of cooperation between Rocky Mountain House and Clearwater County, both in governance and community development132.
