Youth Employment Fund Upcoming Workshops & Courses Secrets of the Back Forty Summer Company 4 Foodlink Grey Bruce 5 Daytripping Packages 5 Township Subscriptions Ripley Revitalization Committee Strategic and Sustainability Plan Hurontel Business Christmas Messages The Township of Huron-Kinloss is pleased to announce that we won the award for Best Tourism Marketing Initiative Under $25,000 for our Ice Cream Trail on Thursday, November 14th at the Ontario Tourism Summit! The award was presented by the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation. This award category applies to any marketing activity, combination of activities or campaigns (printed collateral, various advertising, promotions and/or web) featuring Ontario tourism product (destinations, attractions, tour operators and hospitality suppliers). This year, 197 people completed the Ice Cream Trail. Congratulations to Brittany Stein of Tavistock who won the grand prize of 250 Huron-Kinloss Dollars. Brittany has participated in all three of the Ice Cream Trail contests and was part of the largest group photo last year. We received very positive feedback from participants and the majority of those who completed the participant survey, stated that they visited businesses in Huron-Kinloss that they had not been to previously and would or would likely revisit. Participants spent at minimum $3, in our community.

2 PAGE Huron-Kinloss Discovery Guide As we prepare next year s publication, we ask that all business owners check their business s information on our online Business Directory. You will find the directory at: business-directory.cfm It is very important that you check to ensure the information is correct because this is the contact information listed in the Discovery Guide Business Directory. If you would like to make any changes to your listing, please contact Taralyn. Changes must be made by March 1, 2014 to appear in the Guide. Also, please let us know of any community events that you would like to see listed in the Guide. Your invitation to advertise in the Guide is attached to this newsletter. The Holiday Shopping Pass is Back! With the success of last year s Holiday Shopping Pass Promotion, the Township decided to offer this promotion again. Beginning November 1st, each time a customer makes a retail/food purchase at one of the participating businesses prior to December 25th, the amount is punched on a card in $10 increments. Once a customer has spent $150 and filled their Pass, they can submit them to the Township for a chance to win one of three $150 shopping sprees. This promotion is a great way to reward residents for shopping locally and market the products and services that Huron-Kinloss has to offer. Shopping Sprees are awarded in Huron- Kinloss Dollars. Authentic Huron- Kinloss Dollars have the Township s seal on them and are to be accepted at equal value to Canadian Dollars. If a customer redeems Huron- Kinloss Dollars at your business, please contact the Township to be reimbursed. If your business is participating in this promotion and you need more Holiday Shopping Passes or a new punch, please contact Taralyn. Please note that although they are not listed on the Pass, Ripley Variety is participating in this initiative.

4 HURON-KINLOSS PAGE 4 Secrets of the Back Forty A Farm Gate Experience We have received positive feedback from farm gate operators, residents and visitors regarding the Secrets of the Back Forty publication. A local Bed and Breakfast owner said that she had a family stay with her who brought a copy of the brochure with them and spent their twoday stay travelling from farm gate to farm gate. We will be distributing the brochures to tourism information centres across Ontario and to Bruce County businesses in the spring (10,000 copies printed!). Several local businesses already have copies of the brochure in their stores and it is available for download online. Please let us know if you would like additional copies of the brochure at your business/farm gate. Next summer, we will be reaching out to farm gate operators to see if they have seen an increase in traffic to their businesses since the release of the brochure. We would love to hear about the impact this farm gate listing has had on your business and any comments you hear from customers. If you have any changes to your farm gate listing to report, please contact Taralyn. If we decide to reprint the brochure in the future, these changes will be included. Also, please let us know if you have any suggestions on how to improve the brochure or any additional information you would like to see included. Summer Company Do you know any students who would be interested in running their own summer business in 2014? The province is increasing the number of Summer Company Program spaces available to youth entrepreneurs to provide 850 young people with mentorship, training and grants of up to $3,000. Several Huron-Kinloss students have run successful businesses through Summer Company in the past. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested. They can apply now! Applications must be received by May 23, 2014, but interested youth are encouraged to apply early as there is a cap on the number of people accepted into the program. For more information or to apply, visit:

5 PAGE 5 Foodlink Grey-Bruce & Grey Bruce Agriculture and Culinary Association Grey and Bruce Counties partnered back in 2007 to establish Foodlink, which is an online local food directory. The website highlights farmers markets, farm gates, restaurants,and food retailers. Foodlink has grown from 120 listings to over 400 listings. If you sell local produce, you are welcome to list your business/farm gate on Foodlink for free! If you own a restaurant, you must use at least three local products on a regular basis and meet other criteria in order to have your restaurant listed on Foodlink. Foodlink is also a great resource for assistance with regulations and accessing educational, training and funding opportunities.

Box 1265, Southampton, ON N0H 2L info@greybruceaca.com Daytripping Packages Would your business be interested in partnering with other Huron-Kinloss businesses to offer visitors a daytripping package? A daytripping package is an itinerary of pre-planned activities that visitors would purchase for one price. For example, a daytrip package could include a tour, a sitdown lunch and an afternoon activity. We are just at the stage of seeing if this would be of interest to any businesses in the Township.
