Elgin County Economic Development is pleased to be the recipient of an Economic
Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) Marketing Award of Excellence for its Savour Elgin/Elgin Arts Trail
Discovery Guide. The County also received honourable mention for the Elgin County
Experiences Guide. The award was presented at the EDCO annual conference in Hamilton on
February 12, 2015.
"It is an honour to be recognized provincially
for our Economic Development efforts," said Elgin County Warden Paul Ens.
"Awards such as these raise Elgin County’s profile and position us as a premier
tourist destination, resulting in increased revenue for our businesses."'
The Savour Elgin/Elgin Arts Trail Discovery
Guide encourages travel throughout the region, by packaging the area’s best
food, drink and artistic establishments into three unique weekend tours. The
guide includes a map, descriptions of each establishment and visually appealing
photography.
In June 2014,
the Savour
Elgin/Elgin Arts Trail Experience Guide was distributed to over 175,000 people
as an insert in the Summer Edition of the LCBO Food & Drink magazine. This
distribution allowed Elgin to promote its businesses and attractions to a large
but targeted audience. These promotional efforts were supported by the Local
Food Fund administered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
