YWCA Offers New Programs Our fledgling winter tourism industry industry could suffer a serious, and possibly possibly irreparable, setback if Southern Ontario tourism regions opt out of a major $750,000 snowmobile marketing marketing program currently under way. The three year plan has been on offer offer to Southern Ontario tourism offices offices since last spring, in an attempt to expand the campaign province-wide. To date, there have been few takers, takers, and with the participation deadline deadline approaching, full provincial inclusion inclusion appears to be in jeopardy. As a result, private sector operators in Southern Ontario's premier tourism regions could see winter business decline decline as the comprehensive snowmobile snowmobile marketing strategy attracts new and existing customers to Northern Ontario. With the current competitive climate climate and questionable economy, traditional traditional Southern Ontario tourism areas must rely on broader-based year round revenues for sustainable growth. "Once the winter travel habits and snowmobile focus shift to Northern Ontario as the result of this marketing campaign," comments OFSC Special Assistant Tim West, "it will be difficult, difficult, if not impossible, for southern operators to re-capture their lost market market share." The new winter marketing initiative initiative includes a recently completed tourism video, television commercials, commercials, brochures, attendance at dozens of consumer and outdoor shows, and a new 1-800 number dedicated to snow- mobiling inquiries. "The hands-on reality for Southern Southern Ontario operators is being excluded excluded from these materials and having the commercials all say 'Come to Northern Ontario'," said Craig Nicholson, Nicholson, OFSC Marketing Chair. "How are we going to feel if callers callers to the 1-800 number are not told anything about Southern Ontario?" he asked. The OFSC is urging individual tourism operators and local businesses in snowbelt areas to contact their local tourism offices and chambers to mobilize mobilize support for the campaign before the end of August. As the host team, the Kendal Quantrill Chev Olds Eagles received a bye into the tournament. They will be looking to improve on their results results from a year ago, when they reached the semi-finds at the championships championships held in Courtright. Other teams confirmed for the eight-team tournament thus far are Thorald, New Lowell, Courtright and North Bay. Kendal will play the opening game of the tournament on Friday, September 3 against the winner of a series between Markham and Streetsville, which is currently underway. underway. The game will be held under the lights at the Port Hope Agricultural Town Park at 6:15 p.m. The second game of the evening will pit Thorald against New Lowell beginning at 8:45 p.m. On Saturday, September 4, games will be played throughout the New Hardwood Floor to be Installed at Durham College The Durham College Athletic Department Department is extremely pleased to announce announce that the Durham College Athletic Athletic Complex, will be cutting the ribbon this fall for a brand new hardwood hardwood maple gymnasium floor.
