Exciting News from Middlesex County!

Yesterday, we had the privilege of participating in the Tourism Investment Dragon’s Den at the Ontario Trade and Investment Centre in Toronto, where we showcased investment opportunities in Middlesex County to 10 hotel investors. It was our pleasure to meet and extend an invitation to these investors to do site visits in our communities. We also had an opportunity to meet and extend the same invitation to the Honorable Stan Cho, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming.

A huge thank you to the Township of Adelaide Metcalfe and the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc for partnering with us and highlighting the incredible investment potential in their communities. Your collaboration made our presentation stronger than ever!

We also want to extend our thanks to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming and the Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) for organizing this event and giving Middlesex County the opportunity to participate.

Our slide deck, investment package, and the Tourism Investment Toolkit (produced by CBRE) were met with rave reviews. 💫
