Overview
Timmons Group developed an Interactive Digital Platform as a state of the art tool too showcases the cultural tourism opportunities in partnership with communities from Kenora and Rainy River Districts. This collaborative regional pilot project is the second phase of the Kenora District Resource Mapping Project, funded in the 2010/11 budget by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) and established the interactive media web platform for the regional partners to share digital information in a consistent, visually appealing, user-friendly desktop.
