Lace up your running shoes, grab your cameras and get ready to play tourist in the Annual “Be A Hometown Tourist” Weekend, June 15-17, 2018.

Spearheaded by TAKE 5, in partnership with many local groups, businesses and community-minded individuals, this campaign offers an opportunity for residents and visitors to discover the Central Vancouver Island communities of Ladysmith, Cassidy and Cedar. There will be free events, attractions, and activities as well as special offers from shops and services during that weekend.

“Some of the activities planned are harbour boat tours, kayaking specials, and special menu items at local restaurants, just to name a few,” says Cindy Damphousse, who launched the campaign eight years ago. “We often miss the treasures that are right in our backyard. This is a way for us to remember what an amazing place we live in.”

TAKE 5, which also publishes the “Explore Guides,” believes we can help promote tourism by being our own town’s ambassadors.
