Today Marc G. Serré, MP for Nickel Belt, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages is sharing the launch of the Tourism Growth Program (TGP).  

With $108 million in funding, the Tourism Growth Program will invest in the tourism ecosystem across Canada –– helping small businesses and creating good jobs.

Delivered by the seven Regional Development Agencies, specifically by FedNor for the Nickel Belt – Greater Sudbury region, the program will directly support tourism businesses and other organizations over the next three years, helping the tourism sector scale up, and bring more travellers to Canada.

The maximum contribution amount to a project is $250,000 and projects should align with the Federal Tourism Growth Strategy and support sustainable tourism, active outdoor experiences, Indigenous tourism, seasonal expansion, as well as drive visitation from outside urban centres to rural areas, and complement provincial/territorial programs to help diversify regional economies and contribute to economic growth.
