ERIN – The Town of Erin is getting a little boost for their tourism sector from a government grant.
An item going forward for consideration to an Erin council meeting on Thursday has recommendations for how the town should spend a $100,000 tourism relief fund grant from Central Counties Tourism.
The recommendations include:
- A series of three Christmas market events to be held in McMillan Park in Erin village
- A new Town of Erin tourism and business attraction magazine
- Continuing professional development workshops for the creative sector via the Erin Entrepreneurial Hub.
This funding comes from a FedDev Ontario commitment of $68.5 million in federal dollars going towards Ontario’s 11 regional tourism offices and Indigenous Tourism Ontario.
Centre Counties Tourism encompasses the York, Durham and Headwaters region of Ontario.
Erin council will make a decision on approving the recommendation on Thursday.
