Highlands East to focus on growing tourism as part of strategic plan

Highlands East Reeve Dave Burton says the municipality has barely scratched the surface.

Burton made the comment in reference to Highland East’s tourism industry, specifically mineral collecting. According to a tourism report, close to 100 enquiries were made in August at the information centre on mineral collecting, including a group from the United States.

Burton says the municipality’s reputation as a hot spot for rock collecting is not just limited to south of the border.

Burton says one of his goals as reeve has been to promote Highlands East as a premier mineral collection destination.

Boosting tourism to Highlands East and making it more environmentally friendly is part of the municipality’s strategic plan.
