The Ontario Economic Development Awards were held last week at the Toronto Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel. Cambridge Tourism took top honours in the category of “Publications – Visitors Guide” for their 2006 Discover Cambridge Guide. The ceremony recognizes excellence in marketing and product development and allows local communities to see how their work compares to that of other municipalities across the province in promoting location, investment & tourism opportunities. This year, more than 190 entries were submitted.
Greg Durocher, President and CEO of the Cambridge Chamber and Tourism, said that "It is a real honour to be recognized by such a dynamic organization and elite group. Knowing that our submission was up against some very stiff competition makes the taste of victory even sweeter. We are certainly a proud organization today, and I would like to congratulate Anita Tomins, the Chamber's Marketing and Communications Manager, for her work on this publication. The Cambridge Chamber of Commerce is certainly proud of our accomplishments, but even more proud of our creative and dedicated staff."
This is the second award that the 2006 Discover Cambridge Guide has earned, having won national recognition with a First Place trophy in September from the Economic Developers Association of Canada. Durocher noted that "2006 has been a great year for our tourism marketing efforts, with three national and now a provincial award for tourism marketing and economic development."
