WIBTA Invites You to COME OUT AND SEE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF OUR COMMUNITY!!
Wolfe Island participated in the First Impressions initiative sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Wolfe Island was paired with Bloomfield. Each community sent a diverse group of people to secretly visit the others’ community.
Our objective was to give our first impressions, as a tourist, of their town. We investigated various aspects of how the community presents itself to visiting tourists. Betty Doyle coordinated the Wolfe Island group and based on the groups findings used a power point presentation to highlight the good things the community offered and gave concrete suggestions on what could be improved.
Now Larry Spencer from Bloomfield
will come to Wolfe Island to present his groups findings.
The Presentation takes place from 6:30 to 7:15
on: Tuesday, October 21st at the Wolfe Island United Church Hall.
Take Note of the 6:30 time.
Everyone Welcome…
