Welcome! Sheila Willis has turned her interest in history and her love of small rural communities into a variety of projects, the biggest of which is a searchable, map-based, heritage & travel app. 

 

Aimed at allowing travellers and explorers to get their ING ON through learning, listening, travelling, watching, experiencing, and hundreds of other ING Thing it is a phenominal marketing tool which will be operated by the Travel-ING ON Tourism Cooperative. As a co-op its members are its owners and will benefit directly from cooperatively marketing together. Sheila will continue to work on the app, as she researchs and writes stories about Alberta's past.

 

We invite you to learn more by using the menus below.

(Updates will be made as the cooperative grows in its first year.)

Travel-ING ON Tourism Cooperative & Mobile App Menu

Federally incorporated in July, 2024  the first marketing tool to be used by the Travel-ING On tourism cooperative is a searchable, map-based app that blends travel services, attractions, and other opportunities with heritage sites and stories from across Alberta, the cooperative's first chapter. Our goal is to have the Travel-ING ON app available in the fall of 2024. 

​

Currently known as History Check, it will be upgraded and undergo a name change before being reloaded to the App Store & Google play. The changes will commence once funds are available through membership fees, advertising fees, donations or other sources. As an example, 50 advertising members will allow the process to begin. 

 

After the initial reload there are other features to add to the app such as audio story telling for app users, and self-loading forms for advertisers and story tellers. As a federal cooperative we will pursue other provinces as chapters in the future, each having their own edition of the Travel-ING On mobile app.

Sheila Willis's Projects

While working on the History Check App and its transfer to the Travel-ING On Tourism Co-op, Sheila continues to research and write stories about Alberta's past sharing them online and in print.
