A nice chunk of change for tourism and events in Guelph.
The city said it has awarded $86,300 through various funds to dozens of businesses and organizations in the first round of funding allocation.
The money helped support event attraction, tourism experiences and addressing gaps in the tourism sector. The money comes from the Municipal Accomodation Tax passed in April.
“We were thrilled to be able to support enhancements to long-time and loved Guelph events,” Hilary McCann, Destination Marketing Guelph’s executive director, said in a news release.
“We were also able to provide funding for new initiatives spearheaded by businesses and community organizations. Investing in projects across this spectrum not only enhances Guelph’s tourism offerings but also enhances our unique community and ensures Guelph continues to develop as a vibrant and attractive destination for visitors.”
The city said applications are being accepted for the next roll out of funding until Nov. 29.
These are for any event happening in 2025. Anyone looking to apply is asked to visit the city’s website for more information.
