In June 1989 Nokomis Consultants presented a report on the development of the Crowsnest Centre. The following are quotes from that report. You the reader decide if these predications proved to be true or not.
“The old Blairmore Hospital and Nursing Home buildings would be renovated to standards consistent with the markets for learning facilities that the Centre will pursue”
“To develop the centre to an optimal condition $4 million in capital costs are required. These investments would be staged $2 million initially, $1 million at year 2, and $1 million by year 4”
Executive Summary Page 6
“At or around the 5th year of operations, there should be: 25 new full-time equivalent jobs, $490,000 annually in local expenditures, $45,000 in net revenue at the Centre”
Community Benefits Page 7
“The Municipality should invest in the project to help carry the start up years. Approximately $230000 would be required over 3 years”
Organization and Partnerships Page 8
“The Banff Centre would be the major Competition, although indications are that clients would welcome an alternative, comparable facility to consider”
Markets and Marketing Page 10
“The final years of Community Initiatives and Municipality support would occur in Years 2 and 3”

I’m sure the market place will choose our old hospital over this aging facility.
