This funding aims to strengthen tourism in the Truro and Amherst regions by helping local organizations plan strategically and host events such as the Nova Scotia Stampede and the World Junior A Hockey Challenge. The investment represents a collaboration between federal, provincial, and local governments, with contributions from the Province of Nova Scotia and local municipalities. These initiatives are designed to boost the tourism season beyond traditional peak periods, showcasing the region's cultural and agricultural offerings to a broader audience.
