Rossland swim area needed to boost summer appeal

Rossland needs to enhance its overall summer appeal.

Executive Director Deanne Steven has a proven track record in securing funding for initiatives that boost visitation.

The city doesn’t have that sort of cash but Steven figures this is something the community is very much behind.
