This is right next to Waterton national park. It’s very strange because the only place to actually buy alcohol in the area is in Waterton. Otherwise there is no alcohol sales for many km
When Olu Ifede started working in a Cardston pharmacy six years ago, he never thought he’d see alcohol served in the southern Alberta town.
On Tuesday, Cardston town council voted 5-2 in favour of allowing sit-down restaurants and recreational facilities like the local golf course to apply for liquor licenses.
The town is a half hour drive from Waterton Lakes National Park and sees its fair share of tourists passing through.
At a public hearing before the town council’s vote on Tuesday, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and the Lee Creek Valley Golf club spoke in favour of the bylaw change.
The Cardston Inn for example, loses potential guests to nearby Lethbridge and Pincher Creek, Alta., when people find out they can’t buy alcohol in town.
At the public hearing residents opposed to the bylaw voiced similar concerns about safety and cautioned about the health and moral ills associated with drinking.

Neat community but it’ll never survive if it stays as a mormon hideout.
