Remember when?... 💭

In celebration of SGBT's 45th anniversary, we are sharing memories and quotes from 2 special people that helped start the association and make it what it is today-Sheila Metras, Executive Director 1978-2006, and George Weider, former president of the GTTA and son of Jozo Weider.

💙45 Years of SGBT💙

Here's a snippet from our press release highlighting the anniversary:

"In addition to the evolution of the Tourist Association, the local economy has significantly evolved as well over the past 45 years. Formerly, agriculture and industry (shipbuilding and launching) were dominant contributors to the economy. While these sectors are still relevant and important, tourism is now a significant economic driver. In 2019, the participating municipalities drew 8,822,224 total visitations! No longer is the area attracting tourists in winter or summer, alone. The South Georgian Bay region is well-known throughout the province and beyond as a year-round destination for adventure, relaxation, exploration, and outdoor-inspired recreation. SGB’s anniversary celebrates cooperation and participation across five municipalities and two counties for more than four decades. Wasaga Beach, Clearview, Collingwood, Blue Mountains, and Meaford have all worked towards a common goal of providing memorable experiences for visitors and locals alike."

WOW👏 What an amazing 45 years it has been! Swipe through this post to take a look at the history of SGBT's visitor guide.

Happy 45 year anniversary to South Georgian Bay Tourism!🎉

Here's a quick fun fact you may not have known! Prior to rebranding as South Georgian Bay Tourism (SGB) in 2017, the organization was established in 1978 as the Jozo Weider Information Centre, and was subsequently renamed the Georgian Triangle Tourist Association in 1982.
