in Komarno, the largest of its kind. Luellman illustrates, “Many of our smaller communities have different weekend events that are interesting for people that don’t get out of the city much. Within our 450 square miles, we have six different pockets of urban- rural population, little villages, etc. Each community has their own identification.” Plans are also underway to transform acres of depleted quarries into parks and trails throughout the community, adding to Rockwood’s tourism and outdoor recreation amenities. “We’re working with one quarry right now to rehab it into a future park,” Luellman details. “And we are developing a trail system between three communities, Stony Mountain, Stonewall, and the community of Balmoral, which is an old rail line bed. We were able to secure grant funding federally and provincially to do that project. We’re very proud of it.” 8 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 01
