Haines has two exciting new opportunities to promote Chilkat Valley tourism, thanks to the ingenuity of Governor Dunleavy and our own Paul Rogers. As a Gun Sanctuary City, we can roll out the red carpet for gun enthusiasts who’d like a place to hang out with other gun lovers while stockpiling weapons. Simultaneously, we can become the world’s Covid Vaccination Capitol for those hundreds – no, thousands – no, millions- of individuals tired of waiting in their part of the world for Covid shots. Yup, tourism bureau get on it: Visit Haines and Get Shot!
