Latest Story UCPR vows to provide more funding
to tourism centres in 2011
(The Review - Vankleek
Hill) Despite the fact that budget deliberations have only just begun, the eight mayors
at the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) council table have agreed to put more money into local tourism
information centres this year.
On Tuesday, February 22, the eight regional mayors unanimously passed a resolution that will see about $70,000
spent on tourism information centres in Hawkesbury, Vankleek Hill, Limoges and Casselman in 2011.
Mayors said they are hoping to secure $115,000 for the centres in this year's budget, but will have to wait and

it provided in 2010. Read more...
