Hello Tourism Community,

 

This week is feeling much better than last with the air quality back to normal levels and outdoor activities resuming! Please note, the City of Brockville fire ban is still in place and this includes fires at St. Lawrence Park and the city islands. 

 

As we head into Father's Day weekend, there is lots of fun to be had with special events happening and the classic activities you can enjoy with Dad such as golfing, cruising, and more.

 

We wish all the Dads in the Tourism community a Happy Father's Day!

 

Thank you and have a great day!

 

Thomas Harder
