Events bring significant benefits to communities. They enhance community pride, support the local economy, foster a sense of belonging, and contribute to positive experiences that community members and visitors enjoy.
Expedition is pleased to be working with three communities in Ontario to develop community-wide event strategies. These documents will guide future planning and decisions relating to events hosted in these communities.
A key factor behind community-wide event planning is the need for sustainable service delivery in response to the growing demand for events. Many communities across Canada are faced with challenges related to significant population growth. This is driving the higher demand for events both in terms of quantity and diversity. To address this, it is important for communities to consider how they will manage event delivery in the future to ensure it is sustainable and continues to meet the needs of residents and visitors.
