If they want to keep Foothills going, that's probably the best option for 2021 - try to join the BC league. The travel would actually be better.

Originally, yes. But they couldn't find enough interested clubs so they backed off. I'm not as familiar with this new BC League 1, maybe that's still the case.
I don't see BC clubs allowing Foothills into their league due to travel costs, and I don't think Foothills have the appetite to pay for opposing clubs travel costs like they the first 3 years in PDL, which is the only way they'd get in. Especially when we know the level of play will be lower than they had in PDL. Might as well just stay in AMSL in that case.
I would think a Western Canadian division 2 would have to have some overlap with both CPL and the division 3 leagues. They would need to have professional players, and draw talent from players in USports and NCAA. Ideally a division 2 would be fully pro but Canada isn't ready for that yet. I don't know what's actually on the table outside of what Simon Fudge has leaked.
