 Cycle tourism is big business and growing – not only here but across Ontario and worldwide. Those with an interest in tourism or who have a business that would like to attract more cyclists should attend the upcoming Welcome Cyclists workshop for Lanark County.

Free to attend, the informative two-hour workshop offers businesses and organizations in Lanark County an opportunity to join a growing provincial network, and to connect with the increasing number of cycle tourists and local cyclists across Ontario.

 Accommodations, campgrounds, cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions, and other cycling-related business owners, managers and/or staff are encouraged to attend to learn more about who cycle tourists are and what services and amenities will attract them to local businesses.

 This workshop is bought to you by Transportation Options, a non-profit organization, in partnership with the Town of Mississippi Mills and Riding in Mississippi Mills (RIMM). The Province of Ontario and the Ontario Trillium Foundation are project funding partners. A full list of partners is available at
