Confusing league naming conventions aside, it's the first real attempt at promotion / relegation in this country, and the only reason it works because these are all amateur clubs who can easily move between divisions without any significant change in investment required.
We are a long way off from something similar in Alberta but even launching League1 Alberta is a good start.
As an aside the person who wrote that Northern Tribune article has gotten some reporting wrong on League1 Alberta. But no one else is really covering the league, and Northern Tribune is as good of a supporter-lead site as we have in this country, so I don't think you're going to get any other source of information.
