Lower North Shore Tourism: Our Future

Welcome! On behalf of the Lower North Shore Tourism AdHoc table, I would like to welcome you to the first monthly tourism newsletter! We are very excited to use this newsletter as a way to connect with all locals, businesses, organizations or individuals interested in tourism along the Lower North Shore. In an effort to better connect and communicate with all of you, this monthly newsletter will be your one stop shop on what is happening in tourism along the Coast, including upcoming work, what has been accomplished, feature organizations and much more.

I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself, Melanie Gallibois-Robertson, originally from La Tabatière. I have recently been hired as a Tourism Officer, by the Lower North Shore Ad Hoc Table to help implement an action plan aimed at developing tourism along the Lower North Shore. I will be the primary contact for tourism information, development and collaboration and welcome you to contact me at any time! We will be working hard to include local organizations in this process and I am very excited to take on this project with you all!
