One Town councillor is wondering if a simple mark on Alberta highways could help bring more opportunities to Okotoks whether it's tourism or business.

Carrie Fischer inquired at last week's Council meeting how the Town could have proper signage that points cars towards Okotoks.

She says seeing Okotoks on distance signs coming from the north or south ends of town is just something you don't see.

"We went on a family road trip and we were coming from Lethbridge and I noticed that all the road signs coming out of Lethbridge and on to Highway 2 there's different kilometre notifications for different municipalities up to Calgary and Okotoks wasn't on there," she says.

Fischer says it's nothing complex but having more signage in the simplest way could do dividends in the future.

"Given some of the work that we've been doing in the community to increase profile and attract visitors into Okotoks it struck me that maybe we should see if we can be added on to those road signs to bring that attention to us."

Fischer says she hopes that a conversation with Alberta Transportation can be arranged one day to discuss the possibilty.

"It seems like a little thing but anything that we can do to put the Town of Okotoks into people's minds increases our ability to attract people."
