Eighteen Laurentides tourism organizations receive a total of $4,091,861 in financial assistance from CED.
A key driver of the economy, the Canadian tourism industry generated more than $100 billion in annual revenues before being hit hard by the pandemic. That is why the Government of Canada launched the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF), a $500M pan-Canadian initiative to help businesses and organizations in this sector overcome the impacts of the pandemic and position themselves for the future. The initiative, administered by CED in Quebec, ended on March 31, 2023.
Today, the Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, is announcing a total of $4,091,861 in financial contributions for 18 Laurentides tourism organizations that have received support from CED under the TRF: Municipalité régionale de comté des Laurentides, EAK Sentiers des cimes, Station Mont Tremblant Resort Association, Pourvoirie Le Triolet, Terra Perma Vacation Centre, Corporation du Parc du Poisson-Blanc, Complexe Le Dix-80, Farouche, Pourvoirie du Domaine Vanier 2016, Camping du Domaine Lausanne, Herboristerie la Clef des champs, Domaine Val‑des‑Lacs, Pourvoirie Mekoos, Refuge du Lièvre Rouge, Club Notawissi, Ô Lac des Îles, Les Toits du monde, and Gestion pourvoirie Club Rossignol. This announcement follows a series of strategic investments made by CED under this initiative; a report on the TRF was unveiled on June 28, 2023.
