Sunset Country Talks with Government

The Ontario Sunset Country Travel Association plans to take part in the province's meetings on the new tourism region for all of Northern Ontario.

Gerry Cariou says despite their objections to the large tourism organization they still plan to voice their thoughts to the government.

"The province has decided one organization for the 80 per cent of the land mass is the right thing to do," says Cariou. "We disagree with that but we're participating anyway because it doesn't appear to be a democracy in Ontario. It appears to be an autocracy."

Cariou says Sunset Country will continue to exist on its own since 70 percent of its funding is based on memberships with the rest coming from the province.
