The long-standing partnerships we’ve had with DNO have been so advantageous for our community.

By partnering with the Township of Schreiber to execute multiple bilingual community wayfinding programs, our community has been able to draw in more visitors and direct people to their planned and even spontaneous destinations within Schreiber.

Working with Destination Northern Ontario has also allowed us to leverage greater advertising and branding opportunities on programs and activities that the community looks at implementing.
