In an effort to revitalize northern tourism, the Ontario government has appointed City of Greater Sudbury tourism head Rob Skelly as chairperson of an interim steering committee, charged with overseeing marketing efforts until a permanent organization is in place.
Mike Morrow, the Algoma Central Railway's Agawa Canyon passenger sales manager, was appointed by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines as the new member representing major attractions.
The interim committee was to meet June 25 to discuss the progress of marketing efforts to date.
Last March, the province invested $613,200 to the committee to map out a new tourism marketing plan.
