The Island community has grown the Nanaimo Infusion to a spectacular size, and it’s now grown beyond the means (and energy) Jocelyn and I have to do it on our own next year. (We have day jobs, so most of this planning has been long evenings and weekends.)
But we are talking with a great community group that has experience with these sorts of things, and we hope to pass the reigns off to them for future years. Watch my social media channels for that announcements once we have the details. 🙂

A Tourism Infusion for Every Canadian Community!
</aside>
Since last year when we started the Nanaimo Infusion, Jocelyn and I heard from communities across Canada who also wanted advice on creating their own tourism-focused Infusion weekend.
So, next month, we will be working on the Tourism Infusion Playbook — a resource kit that will help other towns and regions across this great country replicate what our mid-Island community built.

(We did it with the Healthcare Infusion project, which has now expanded to more than 40 chapters across Canada, each community using the Nanaimo template to recruit healthcare workers to their own regions.)
The Tourism Infusion kit will be an online handbook, videos, and set of templates — everything we used to create the Nanaimo Infusion. And yes, it will be completely free.
