A Spark of Interest in Local Tourism

If you have an idea for a tourism draw in Chatham-Kent, the municipality wants to hear from you.

The Spark Program is off and running for a second year.

This program sees applicants put forth their ideas to enhance tourism with the top three receiving the help of a mentor and $3,000 dollars in funding.

The plan is to encourage new ideas to increase tourism.

They are pushing ideas that focus on Agri-Culinary, the war of 1812, small towns and villages.

Also ideas that celebrate diversity and build future resilience.

Applications are due by March 5th, and after a review process the finalists will be invited to make a pitch to the committee.

The three top ideas will be chosen.
