2024 Tourism Management Plan:

Residents can find information about summer amenities and how to navigate the summer season on the Summer Hub, updated each May.

Specific actions in this years’ Tourism Management Plan include:

• A cycle of summer planning and evaluation meetings with internal and external stakeholders
• Eliminating the admission fee at Wellington Rotary Beach and instead creating a “beach steward” position to help visitors at the beach, perform light maintenance and support the implementation of the mobility mat and chairs
• Accessibility improvements at summer tourism amenities (such as accessible parking spaces, accessible portable washrooms, and improved pathways/surfaces)
• Partnerships with Uride and the local taxi sector to improve transportation options
• Beautification of park benches in Bloomfield
• Invasive species management (such as Wild Parsnip) along the Millennium Trail
• Creating a service depot in Wellington to improve response times for service at western County parks and washrooms
• Continuing the PEC Summer Pass program for parking at Bakker Road and Huyck’s Point Road
• Beginning research and consultation for a municipal boat launch strategy, and installing free parking spaces for non-trailered vehicles at Glendon Green, Prinyers Cove, McFarland, Northport and Big Island boat launches
• Investments in wayfinding and information signage throughout the County
