Cypress County will be keeping the doors open at the now former Walsh Visitors Information Centre under a new name starting in May.
The Cypress County Welcome Centre will be opened after the province decided in early 2020 not to operate the Visitors Information Centre in the small border hamlet.
The centre attracts 20,000 visitors a year from May to September.
“That’s a lot of people coming through and a lot of people we can make an impact on to hopefully get them to go down to Elkwater or go to Irvine or use one of the campgrounds in the county (and) use it to promote what we have in our community,” said Tracey Popick, Cypress County’s communications co-ordinator.
