points;

cultural, walking tours, etc.

• Events run from Mid April through October normally from
10:00 am to 4:00 pm

be added to their website as well
• Registration deadline is December, 2010
Registration fee is $1,600.00
• Deadline for providing site information is mid January,
2011 with a minimum of 10 sites chosen in order to be
published
• Entirely volunteer based
Mr. Sawchuck outlined the social benefits as well as the positive
impact on local business. He suggested some areas to look
into such as liability insurance coverage - is this covered by the
municipality and advertising and promotion of event.
It was also suggested the Committee establish what amount
has been budgeted for this as a bicentennial event.
Mr. Sawchuck reviewed the statistics, noting the visits have
continuously increased since the program's inception in
2002. He also provided a number of tips;
• Develop event identity
• Determine a theme or area of interest
• Think strategically to determine a date (work with
neighbouring municipalities)
• Think strategically to determine sites - try to cluster
them together
• Define your target audience (find ways to bring in
children)
• Promote event effectively - good comprehensive map
of sites
• Recommended no more than 12 sites for the first year
and to hold as a one day event
• Capitalize on your unique situation i.e. cleeve horn
house - use unusual structures to bring in visitors
A detailed discussion and question and answer period
ensued. Various suggestions were made for possible sites. ,
K. Pyke provided R. Lawson with a potential list. It was
suggested the date could be in conjunction with the
Pickering Museum Village Fall Family Festival event in
October.
