Impact Tourism co-founder, Sheila Willis wants Alberta families to know that travelling in Alberta is not cancelled. With the History Check App, a made in Alberta grassroots travel and tourism app, present travel restrictions don’t have to limit the adventures families can have across Alberta. Free to download to IOS and Android, the app can help plan in-province road trips to suit almost any taste and budget.
“I know there’s a lot of disappointment and trips cancelled, but there’s still hundreds of ways to explore the province in a safe way,” says Sheila Willis who has spent the past four years on the passion project. “There’s plenty of outdoor, remote and private destinations.”
Originally developed to highlight historical sites throughout northern Alberta, the History Check App now features tourism sites, attractions, and businesses from across the entire province.
“It’s a work in progress as I continue to explore funding sources, but I’ve added hundreds of points of data since the pandemic began,” says Willis, “first to identify as many of the open truck stops, restaurants and gas stations for essential truckers and now to help small businesses and tourism operators highlight their openings and summer policies.”
