Magnetawan Mayor Sam Dunnett believes a tourism initiative by Almaguin Community Economic Development (ACED) is a great idea, but the timing to implement it is off. On May 1 ACED wants to launch Staycation Almaguin, where residents of the Highlands communities do their tourism travelling in the region because COVID-19 continues to impact visits to destinations outside the region. The proposal calls for activities that would feature musicians, arts and craft events, culinary and dance all the while maintaining social distancing. In some instances, the events would be virtual and all events are structured to avoid large gatherings. Staycation Almaguin would run until Oct. 9 – which takes it to Thanksgiving weekend – and ACED wants the member municipalities to each contribute $1,900 to pull off the events and activities.
