Explorers’ Edge Welcomes Municipal Leaders with Introduction to Regional Tourism Opportunities
BRACEBRIDGE, ON – November 15 2026 – Following Ontario’s 2026 municipal elections, Explorers’ Edge (Regional Tourism Organization 12) is welcoming newly elected and returning mayors and councillors with a short video introducing the organization and its role in supporting regional tourism and economic development.
The 90-second video, featuring CEO James Murphy, highlights how Explorers’ Edge works with municipalities, businesses and community partners across Muskoka, Parry Sound, Almaguin Highlands, Loring-Restoule, Algonquin Park and South Algonquin.
“Tourism is about much more than attracting visitors. It’s about supporting local businesses, creating employment opportunities and strengthening our communities,” said Murphy. “As municipal councils begin their new term, we want to introduce ourselves, share the work we’re doing and invite municipal leaders to explore how we can work together to advance their local priorities.”
From regional transportation partnerships and workforce development to visitor intelligence, Indigenous tourism and destination development, Explorers’ Edge continues to connect regional partners and develop opportunities that support local economies.
Municipal leaders are encouraged to watch the video and connect with Explorers’ Edge to explore opportunities for collaboration.
