“The Ingersoll Downtown BIA is grateful for the funding provided by the Government of Canada investment, through FedDevOntario and Ontario’s Southwest Regional Tourism Organization, and the impact that it has had on our many local businesses, artists, and industries the past six months, as well as the ongoing economic growth that will be felt by our downtown community in the days to come! The funding has opened a wealth of opportunity for our downtown to flourish through experiential tourism and helps to ease the strain of the recent pandemic.”
Joanne Wolnik, the Executive Director of Ontario’s Southwest Regional Tourism Organization, says the money is coming from the federal government's Tourism Relief Fund and it's being distributed by FedDev Ontario.
