# Growth Desk source note — visitor-ready proof sheet (August 31, 2026)

## Angle
Greenwood should build a dated visitor-ready proof sheet before spending energy on larger tourism promotion. The article frames this as a practical proposal, not an official City plan.

## Direct HTTP checks
- City of Greenwood Tourism & Visitors — HTTP 200; used as the local public tourism doorway.
- City of Greenwood Visiting — HTTP 200; used as a visitor-information doorway.
- City of Greenwood Stay & Eat — HTTP 200; used as the local stay/eat doorway, not as verification that every listed operator is open at any given time.
- City of Greenwood Recreation — HTTP 200; used as local recreation context, not as a route-safety or current-conditions guarantee.
- City of Greenwood Calendar — HTTP 200; used as the official public calendar doorway.
- City of Greenwood Business Directory — HTTP 200; used as local business-discovery context.
- City of Greenwood Beautification Grant — HTTP 200; used as a downtown/readiness doorway, not as an eligibility claim.
- Greenwood Museum & Visitor Centre — HTTP 200 after redirect to Google Sites; used as a heritage/visitor-centre anchor.
- Destination BC Learning Centre — HTTP 200; used for destination-readiness and training/context language.
- DriveBC — HTTP 200; used as the official road-condition doorway for Highway 3/travel cautions.
- Community Futures Boundary — HTTP 200; used as business planning, financing and coaching partner context.

## Partial/failed checks not relied on as public anchors
- Destination BC `/what-we-do/visitor-services/` returned HTTP 404.
- A guessed HelloBC Greenwood URL returned HTTP 404.
- Boundary Country failed automated TLS negotiation in this environment; manually re-check before using a specific Boundary Country page.

## Editorial cautions
- Do not claim a tourism strategy is adopted or funded unless an official document and decision are checked.
- Do not claim particular businesses, events, trails, washrooms, accommodations or hours are current without confirmation.
- Keep the tax-base lens measurable: outside visitor spending, partner leads, accommodation use, business referrals, event attendance, email signups and investor/founder inquiries.
