Note on Frequency of Inspections

Centers, Group Homes, and Licensed Family Homes::

In 2014, legislation was passed that changed the number of unannounced visits from two per year to one per year in Child Care Centers, Group Child Care Homes, and Licensed Family Child Care Homes. As a result of this new law, you may see a decrease in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for these types of providers. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint, and visits are scheduled with the facility during the re-licensing process, which occurs every two years.

Registered Family Homes:

Most family homes are registered, not licensed. In 2014, legislation was passed that allows Child Care Licensing to make one unannounced visit to these homes each year. As a result of this new law, you may see an increase in the number of deficiencies listed on this website for Registered Family Child Care Homes. Unannounced visits are still made in response to a complaint. Click here for an overview of each facility and the requirements they must meet according to state law.

Who is Greater Zion for?

It’s easy to assume that the people who visit Southern Utah are experienced hikers, climbers and cyclists. Although Greater Zion attracts millions of thrill-seekers every year, it really is a destination for everyone. From family and friend trips to bachelorette parties and honeymoons, it offers a one-of-a-kind gathering place to spend time with loved ones in the natural splendor that is Greater Zion.

Residents who have lived in Greater Zion for most of their lives have one thing in common: the sense of community is unmistakable. You don’t have to live here to experience the collective pride. Incredible landscapes, the excitement of new adventures, charming shops and restaurants are open to everyone.

Adventure for all abilities

You don’t need to be an advanced rider to enjoy the great outdoors. Whatever your ability or interest level, you’ll love these affordable activities.

Mild afternoon at Thunder Crossing

Thunder Crossing Tonaquint Park has a dinosaur theme park for all abilities. This park will delight visitors of all ages with a wheelchair-accessible playground, climbing wall, water playground, an erupting volcano, and a quarter-scale train on a 2,700-foot track.

Affordable Hikes in Snow Canyon State Park

Snow Canyon State Park is one of Southwest Utah’s best kept secrets. This 7,400-acre state park is minutes north of St. George and is often not as busy as Zion National Park. Hiking in Snow Canyon ranges from simple walks to hikes with steep slopes and uneven surfaces, so you can choose what suits you and your group’s ability level. For an interesting wheelchair accessible sightseeing hike, check out the Whiptail Trail.

As with any walk in Greater Zion, make sure you do your research beforehand and leave prepared. Although most of the trails in Snow Canyon State Park are well marked, it is still possible to turn around. You’ll find water and shade coverage on several trails and recreation areas in the park, but you should still bring a backpack with your essentials.

Get ready

Adrenaline-filled day at Sand Hollow State Park

Soft dunes surround a warm body of water at Sand Hollow State Park, making it a must for off-road enthusiasts and boaters. Known for its unique landscape where the dunes practically merge with the water, this reservoir offers an experience similar to Lake Powell just 15 miles east of St. George. Add Sand Hollow State Park to your itinerary if you’re interested in a day that starts on or even near the water and ends with an OHV tour.

Are dogs allowed?

Most trails in Zion National Park don’t allow dogs, but Greater Zion is full of hiking trails for dogs. Pioneer Park, Red Cliffs Wilderness Preserve, Snow Canyon State Park, and Pine Valley Recreation Area have trails that welcome furry family members. Keep your puppy on a leash, clean up after him, and make sure he stays hydrated.

Explore the stars with a guide

Are you looking for an unforgettable after-hours experience? Zion National Park is certified by International Dark Sky Park, and the star tour is something you don’t want to miss. This is an incredible opportunity to disconnect from technology and fully immerse yourself in nature. Stargazing tours include access to professional telescopes, binoculars and long exposure photography.

Play golf

Mild weather and 14 courses Within 20 miles Greater Zion is a golfer’s dream. Whichever track you land on, you’re guaranteed breathtaking footage combined with stunning views you won’t see anywhere else.

Popular golf courses

Dixie Red Hills : Dixie Red Hills, built in the 1960s, is the first golf course in St. George’s. It has since become a favorite of amateur and serious golfers alike. This nine-hole golf course is surrounded by red and sandstone cliffs. Thanks to the large tree cover, there is plenty of shade during the summer heat.

The Swiss city of Sion and new forms of civic participation in politics

The citizens of the city of Sion will be the first to experience the new instrument of participatory democracy already in a referendum on February 9, 2020. An example for them will be the experience of citizens of the state of Oregon, USA. Keystone / Olivier Maire

Switzerland has accumulated vast experience in involving citizens in the direct government of the country at all levels (federal, cantonal and municipal), but it always looks with interest and a little jealousy at similar experiences and forms of participative democracy (“participatory democracy”) in other countries, for example , Oregon (USA).

This content was published on August 16, 2019 – 11:43

August 16, 2019 – 11:43 am

How is that, you ask? It was only recently that my Swiss friends (or experts who came from Switzerland) actively convinced me that Swiss direct democracy is intolerable to other soil and that in no case should other countries try to implement the experience of the Confederation in the sphere of attracting people to direct control of the country. How to deal with this?

Well, what to do? Switzerland is being modest, striving once again not to draw attention to itself. Recently, even Swiss diplomats, conducting a survey in Russia and Kazakhstan on the subject of the image of their country, deliberately subjected their questionnaire to self-censorship, removing the question of direct democracy from it, fearing that in these countries the mere mention of direct democracy could be perceived as indirect critics of the regimes of these countries ( more on this “Freudian slip” here ).

Show more

Because in fact, different forms of direct democracy exist not only in Switzerland, but also in other countries, for example, in Australia . In 2020, Bern will host the next Global Forum for Contemporary Direct Democracy, where delegates from all over the world will discuss the theoretical and practical issues of participatory democracy.

By the way, if you want to learn more about Swiss-style direct democracy, you can visit the Nadia Brykina Gallery in Moscow, where the exhibition is being held swiss posterExternal link . The name is again modest, carefully veiling the fact that these posters reflect not chocolate or cheese, but the struggle of the people of Switzerland for their political rights.

An exercise in democracy

But back to Switzerland, more precisely, to the canton of Valais, city SionExternal link , where these days many citizens find unusual letters in their mailboxes. This is a project supported by the Swiss National Science Venture Fund ( SNFExternal link ) and who proposes to test the technology of involving citizens in solving important political issues of their community by drawing lots.

In total, 2 thousand people are supposed to be selected, from among whom something like “Permanent Civil Conference” (Bürgerpanel) will be formed. He will discuss the issues that are being submitted here in the city and the canton for a referendum in February 2020. Based on the results of the discussions, a final expert report will be drawn up. The meeting will last four days and is planned to be held in November of this year.

“Such an exercise in democracy will help to realize again its (intrinsic) value, which we sometimes forget, will help to remember its fundamental principles, for example, the principle of equality of citizens. We often tend to repeat that politics is a very complex matter, and therefore professional politicians should deal with it, but this is far from the case, ”says Nenad Stojanović ( Nenad StojanovićExternal link ), professor at the University of Geneva who oversees the entire project.

According to him, convening a “permanent civil meeting will help its participants, following the results of four days of debate, not only to study thoroughly all the issues put to a vote, but also to feel that any person, being involved in solving even the most complex and complex topics, begins, what is called, to grow above oneself, discovering in oneself the ability to listen, analyze, understand, speak and defend one’s point of view with reason. ” The idea of ​​​​creating such a “meeting” in Zion was borrowed from the USA, the state of Oregon, where similar Citizens’ Initiative Review (CIRExternal link) has been in existence since 2010.

Swiss premier with many unknowns

Nenad Stojanović specifies that the said 2,000 citizens were drawn by lot among 21,000 voters registered in the canton of Valais. Those of these two thousand who are really ready, willing and able to take part in the work of the Meeting must declare themselves before the end of September 2019. Most likely, taking into account previous experience, about 10% of those who were chosen will want to join this “debate club”.

“This is precisely our goal, but since this kind of tool is used in Switzerland for the first time, we are ready for any surprises,” says N. Stojanovic. According to him, Oregon and Valais are very different from each other in terms of the political landscape and the habits of people, so it is difficult to predict how citizens will behave. Experts proceed from the fact that the condition for effective work is the readiness to participate in the work of the “Permanent Civil Conference” of at least a hundred people, because it only makes sense to form the final composition of the “Civil Discussion Panel” from this number.

After that, the “hand of fate” will again go into action, with the help of which the final 20 members of this political civic club will be determined. However, this choice will not become completely voluntaristic: the “panel” will be formed in accordance with the main social strata (gender, age, political orientation, level of education, frequency of participation in elections and referendums). “In this way, we will create a kind of representative microcosm corresponding to the alignment of political forces in the canton of Valais and in the city of Sion in particular,” Nenad Stojanovic clarifies.

This “democratic twenty” will meet in November, twice, on weekends, for a total of four days. Its participants will receive and evaluate information on the topics of the upcoming referendum in February, discuss among themselves and with invited experts. Based on the results of the debate, they will draw up a short, one-page, final report in which they once again summarize what was discussed, what are the main arguments for and against the bills submitted to the referendum, and what is the conclusion. Then, in early January, this report will be sent to all the voters of the city of Zion, more or less simultaneously with the distribution of the usual package of documents with ballots and the obligatory “ Voter’s memo » red.

“Applied Sociology in the Field”

Then it will be the turn of scientists to assess how the work of the “panel” and the set of conclusions and recommendations developed by its participants influenced the electoral behavior of city residents. In Oregon, the so-called CIRs have a real and very significant impact on the process of pre-election mobilization of citizens who trust the conclusions of their acquaintances and neighbors more than the arguments of “professional” political scientists and campaign brochures and materials.

N. Stojanovic warns that what works in the USA will not necessarily work in Switzerland. However, he remains optimistic. “We must not forget that the turnout in elections in Switzerland rarely reaches 50%: as a rule, it is always less, and nevertheless, roughly rounding off, we can say that half of the voters vote in the Confederation, and the other half? Where is she?”. In his opinion, among the “refuseniks” there may be many who simply do not trust the “elites” and scientists with experts speaking on their behalf. And the members of the “discussion panel”, a kind of “political influencers”, initially have a credibility, not being associated in the eyes of voters with “mainstream structures”.

It should also be borne in mind that there are many voters who consider politics too “complicated” and who simply do not have time to read the notorious “voter’s memo” from cover to cover. Indeed, social networks have led to the fact that the ability of people to concentrate on one thing for a long time has been significantly reduced, and even more so they will not want to read a long text, although it is an objectively high-quality result of serious work, albeit sometimes written indigestible bureaucratic language.

The chances seem much greater that voters will still be able to read a page of text with the main conclusions and recommendations, and even written in an accessible language. And let the “panel” include only 20 people. According to N. Stoyanovich, their work “will not go to waste”, primarily because of the so-called. multiplier effect, because each of them will then talk with members of their families, friends, colleagues, etc.

Seeking to motivate voters

The City of Zion was chosen to pilot this new form of participatory democracy by no means by chance. The community board developed and adopted a lawmaking plan for the period from 2017 to 2020, and in this plan, a special place was given to attracting to municipal politics those who previously, having all the rights, did not pay any attention to politics. In other words, they realized here that not only foreigners and other newcomers need social integration, but also Swiss citizens themselves.
