Sustainable Community Scavenger Hunt

Watch out City of Camrose! The Rural Capacity Interns will be biking around town today, taking part in a “Sustainable Community Scavenger Hunt”. A series of clues will lead us to knowledgeable Camrose citizens who will provide us with insight into what makes a community sustainable. After collecting information and visiting various locations throughout the day, we will design an ideal sustainable community.
See if you can decipher our clues:
Check out the Clock,
At the centre of the city,
The City Manager shall greet you,
Like he does many a committee


Wildlife and Greenspaces
Part of the world of conservation
Out Stoney Creek Valley
Is an ongoing inspiration


Revitalization
Of a historical place,
A building once full of glory
Has got a new face


Along the way we will are also tasked with taking a picture of something that illustrates sustainability, an area where there is potential for improvement, and a creative group shot. Our questions for the people we meet along the way are:
What is an important sustainability initiative for your community to take on?
What are your thoughts on local food initiatives and farmer's markets?
What is the biggest challenge for senior citizens living in a rural community?
What do you value about your community? What makes you stay here?


Stay tuned in to learn about the ideal sustainable community that we design after our hunt!
