Stakeholder Newsletter

August 30 - September 5, 2023

 

Hello Tourism Community,

 

With school starting next week, we are starting to see a shift in visitors to Brockville. Weekends will still be popular with families, but for many, fall months are prime tourism season for retirees.

 

As promised, the Visitor Centre at 6 Broad Street, will continue to operate 7 days a week till Thanksgiving weekend. Hours will be 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 every other day.

 

We are looking for your fall events, plans, and ideas. Please submit your events to our events calendar so we can help promote for you. Let us know how we can help keep the great momentum we saw this summer moving forward.

 

Wishing everyone a great week!
