Virtual Marketplace Registration Now Open!
OMCA
On November 8th, OMCA will host virtual appointments for sellers that are unable to attend in person on November 13-16. Registration for virtual appointments is now available through the Marketplace registration portal. OMCA members and Marketplace Buyers are eager to finally get back to a traditional face-to-face meeting. This is the tourism industry after all and its representatives are happiest when interacting directly with other smiling faces. We understand, however, that while you and your company may want to join us in person in Niagara Falls, there are budget and scheduling restrictions that may prevent you from doing so.
Registration is open for both in-person and virtual appointments. While we'd prefer to have you join the bustling excitement of the first in-person Marketplace appointments since 2019, we want to help you rebuild your group tourism market in whatever way we can. Find out more at https://www.omca.com/events/2022-omca-marketplace/registration-and-pricing/.

Hamilton's long and winding road of despair
Hamilton Spectator
Hamiltonians are tired of being taken for a ride when it comes to their road infrastructure.
Every year, the city seems to always have a least one street on the CAA’s worst road list, whether it is Burlington Street or Barton Street. While the list is a non-scientific survey, it’s an embarrassment to the community, and highlights the complaints, criticisms and rueful jokes residents constantly make.
