Destination & Industry Development

Fall has well and truly arrived, and that means two things for the Destination and Industry Development team!

Firstly, it’s the return of the Richmond EPIC Tourism Awards, which is open for applications until October 25^th and winners announced at the Year End Celebration on November 30^th – We look forward to seeing you there!

Secondly, planning is well underway for this year’s Winter in the Village celebrations in Steveston Village. The calendar of events is filling up fast with annual favourites such as Songs in the Snow and Festival of Trees, plus a host of new events assisted with Tourism Richmond’s Event Sponsorship Funding. Look out for event announcements in the coming weeks!
