Brockville Tourism's team has been super busy lately! We recently presented to the new City of Brockville Tourism Advisory Committee partners, we are prepping for the Brockville Tourism Summit that's happening next Tuesday (We're thrilled to be hosting over 60 registrants in person this year!). This Friday we are hosting a FAM tour with the Great Lakes Cruise Association Board of Directors, and are doing lots of follow up from our time at the OMCA Travel Trade Show. Not to mention more strategic planning for 2023!
