Waterton businesses get ready for bounce-back summer tourism season
Businesses in the small tourist town of Waterton, which sits near the border with the U.S. in Waterton Lakes National Park, say they're looking forward to visitor numbers getting back to pre-pandemic levels and beyond this summer. It's been a roller-coaster ride for shops and hotels since the 2017 Kenow wildfire, followed by the pandemic and the closure of the Canada-U.S. border, which cut off a significant customer base.
