The Government of Alberta has been carefully monitor mountain snowpack, precipitation, river levels and other key data to further understand drought conditions and provide information to residents throughout the Province. 

Drought conditions are caused by a depletion in the availability of water over a large physical area for an extended period of time. These conditions can be caused by below average levels of precipitation, river flow and ground water. A drought can last anywhere from weeks to months, and extended periods can lead into multi-year droughts if the region is consistently not getting enough moisture.  

The Town of Drumheller is partnering with HotSpot to roll out a paid parking program in specific areas throughout Drumheller. 

Annually, the paid parking program will be implemented from May 1 to October 31, from 9:00am until 9:00pm daily.
