agement, University of Guelph
"Advancing your Tourism -Relat-
ed Business in Today's Challeng-
ing Economic Climate," followed
by a little "Down to Earth Talk"
with Jane Muegge, OMAFRA
and Cindy Fisher, Huron County
Planning.

between one of three break-out
sessions "Go -Green - Greening
Your Tourism Operation" lead by
Caroline Polgrabia, Ministry of
Tourism and Michelle Maxwell

line Marketing" lead by Jenna

ponent of the day will be the

literature to other businesses and
