Spring is here and we couldn’t be happier. The sun is shining, the air is warming up and new life is beginning to push through the hard soil in preparation for beautiful buds & blooms. Making the best of spring mostly involves getting outside and getting creative.

Go Shopping! A cute new raincoat, pair of boots or water-resistant sneakers in a fun colour not only helps boost your mood but also prepares you for the wet weather ahead of us. Brockville’s downtown has many unique boutique shops for you to choose from. Explore them here.

Get Moving! The snow is melting on the beautiful Brock trail. Whether by foot or on wheels, it’s a great spot for a walk, run or cycle. Pay attention during your adventure and see what birds & blooms you notice as you explore downtown. What are you waiting for? Grab your wellies & go!

Tourism as we know it has changed. Over the past year, we’ve been huddled up at home, biding our time, following protocols and staying safe as we learn more about how to navigate life in the midst of the novel COVID19 coronavirus.

The concept of “regenerative tourism” has recently emerged, which introduces a focus on injecting life back into communities by taking a sustainable and responsible approach towards tourism operations. Basically, making your adventures contribute to leaving a place better than you found it. We’re talking staying local, eating local, shopping local and exploring local. This could look like a takeout picnic in your own backyard or a weekend away in a neighbouring community (remember only to travel from green zone to green zone).

Though we’re not out of the woods yet, we’re optimistic that the tourism industry will recover and, in time, become something even greater than it once was. Until that time, get creative, get outside and create your own adventures in beautiful Brockville.
