May 3, 2010 105.7 MyFM Interview with Sheila Devost, Tourism Development Officer
Middlesex Tourism "is on its way".... After years of working under the wing of Community Futures Development Corporation, Federal funding has made its way to Middlesex Tourism - allowing it to become its own entity. For six years CFDC has been publishing the Middlesex Tourism Guide and looking after the website "middlesextourism.ca." Tourism Development Officer Sheila Devost says now Middlesex County can now join neighboring communities Elgin, Oxford, Essex, Norfolk, Chatham Kent, Sarnia Lambton and the City of London who all have their own tourism organizations.
