Bruce County is hoping to get some new ideas sparked in the local tourism sector.
A release on the county website states that the latest round of the “Spark” Mentorship & Grants Program has been launched to “encourage Bruce County entrepreneurs, small businesses, and non-profit organizations to create new sustainable tourism ideas for the region.” It is the fourth round of such grants being doled out.
The program “provides selected applicants with a $3,000 grant, mentorship, and additional partner support to help get them started.” Organizers of the program are hoping for “sustainable tourism ideas that will enhance Bruce County’s current tourism offerings, create high-quality, low impact tourism experiences, address gaps in tourism products and services, motivate longer stays and repeat visits, and increase shoulder season visits and tourism spending.”
Applications are open until October 20. For more information on the Bruce County “Spark” Program and to register for an upcoming Info Session visit www.tourisminnovation.ca/bruce.
The Bruce County “Spark” Mentorship & Grants Program is a partnership between Bruce County, Bruce Power, Regional Tourism Organization 7 (RTO7), and the Tourism Innovation Lab.
