Launching Our Tourism Ambassador Team

Summer is here and that means the launch of the 2021 Tourism Ambassador Team. This year’s team includes 5 local students who bring their own experience, enthusiasm, tech smarts and hometown knowledge to the job. You’ll find them in downtown Fenelon Falls, around the Locks and Garnet Graham Beach park in their bright blue shirts. One of their main goals is welcoming locals and visitors to Fenelon Falls and helping everyone make the most of their time in the village. Another goal is promoting businesses through the Explore Fenelon Falls social media. Check out their Instagram stories @ExploreFenelonFalls. To round out their duties they also help keep things beautiful by daily trash collection, weeding, cleaning and one Tourism Ambassador will be working alongside the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society maintaining all the gardens around town.

The Tourism Ambassador program launched in the summer of 2018 as part of the Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce with only two Ambassadors. The program continues to adapt and change over the years to showcase all we have to offer here and in the surrounding area while maintaining current health protocols. Thanks to funding from the City of Kawartha Lakes, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada we are able to have a large team this summer.

Whether you have family coming to visit, you’re a long time cottager, or a local; the Tourism Ambassadors can help you find restaurants, accommodations, attractions and event information. Their home base is the Tourist Info Centre on Oak Street in the heart of Fenelon Falls, open 7 days a week from 10 am to 4 pm. Please say hello to Chantal, Shelby, Hannah, Alex and Anna (missing from photo) when you see them around town.
