It's that time of year, fall in Manitoba. Fall is a time to celebrate the abundance of the harvest, and do we know how to celebrate. Fall suppers and harvest parties are popping up all over Eastern Manitoba. Be sure to watch our Facebook page for more information and event listings for some of the best fall suppers in rural Manitoba. Fall is also a time for learning opportunities.  We have two for you here plus a link for how to start your own micro brewery right here in Manitoba. Also this month is the Travel Manitoba Tourism Conference and Manitoba Tourism Awards. A time to celebrate our successes and learn about new developments in the industry. And don't forget about our photo contest.

Manitoba Brew Hub

There's no better time to invest in tourism in rural Manitoba than now. With relatively low buy-in costs you can be your own boss and do what you love. Whether its the love of guiding a group through the forest hunting for wild edibles, taking a family on their first canoe trip, teaching a group how to make jam or making beer.

On the scene is the newly launched www.manitobabrewhub.ca, a resource developed by the Province's Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation. It's packed full of information on how to start your own micro brewery in Manitoba. If you're an entrepreneur and appreciate a good craft beer, it might be time to switch vocations. Yes, this is tourism!

Photo Contest

The deadline for photos is September 15th so that means you still have a chance to win some great prizes. Be sure to include people in the shots so we can share how Manitobans and visitors are enjoying Eastern Manitoba.

Tourism Awards

Each year, the Manitoba Tourism Awards, presented by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, recognize outstanding contributions to the provincial tourism industry, including promoting Manitoba as a quality destination, ensuring an exceptional visitor experience and fostering a professional tourism industry.
