RCMP compiling information on ski passes

    The Drumheller RCMP are taking information from residents who are concerned about getting a refund from Ski the Badlands.     A pledge was made to those who purchased ski passes for the Drumheller Ski Hill for the 2010-2011 season, that they would be receiving a refund. This came after an offer of a short-term lease from the Town of Drumheller was rejected by the Drumheller Valley Ski Club (1997) and Badlands Ski Hill.
    A press release posted on Ski Drumheller said they have “immediately put in works necessary legalities for this process and are pleased to provide refunds in full to our pass holders.”
    inSide Drumheller reported in its March 11 edition that many residents were still waiting to hear the details of the refund.
    Constable Andrew Grainger said RCMP have been monitoring the situation.
    “I have been basically collecting information, getting receipts and cheques they have paid, and we are going to compile it,” said Grainger.
    He said the police are not formally investigating the issue. They have received information from about six residents.
    Grainger said residents who are concerned can pass their information along to the RCMP, by calling 403-823-7590.
