Have you seen this beautiful mural in Crowsnest Pass? It brings joy to humans and dogs, and we just simply love it!! It is home to The Blackbird accommodation. You can book this exceptional church, curated to impress and inspire. A great place to rejuvenate even on rainy days as you won’t be bored when you enter this unique stay. Perfect for a large family, a retreat with your friends, a quiet get-a-way and so much more! Come visit us in the South Canadian Rockies.
You can enter to win by following the rules above. However, for this specific picture, you can re-create it by going to the exact location but you don’t have to use a dog, it can be a human, a cat, a pet gecko, or your choice of item. If you can’t make it to Crowsnest Pass, you can also re-create this photo with a mural near you. Make sure to follow the steps laid out in the contest so that you get your name in the entry.
Better yet, you can win a partial stay and gift basket from The Blackbird. We recommend booking mid-week if you win this package as some of the spas included in this package have more options available mid-week. Sounds like a pretty fun trip with the friends! Can we get a whoop whoop?
