For example, big names such as Coca Cola and Nike have "instant recognition," according to Amanda Virtanen, director of tourism for the County of Haliburton. "Really successful brands link to your feelings and your emotions," said Virtanen, who was the guest speaker at the Chamber Breakfast held April 5 at the Red Umbrella Inn. Twenty-seven people attended the monthly breakfast, hosted by the Haliburton Highlands Chamber of Commerce. A marketing and branding expert, Virtanen highlighted the importance of developing a strong brand. "Whether you're making canoe paddles or you're a service entity or an experience provider, your company is your brand," she said. Virtanen also covered the benefits of rebranding and the recent success of the #MyHaliburtonHighlands brand, which she developed two years ago. "Thirty-seven million people were exposed to the #MyHaliburtonHighlands brand last year," she said. Local business owners interested in participating in a branding session can contact Virtanen by email at avirtanen@ county.haliburton.on.ca.

  • Coalition for Equitable Water Flow – Haliburton Sector, TSW Website: E-Mail: [email protected] Questions from the Coalition 1
    Summer 2014 Open Letter to: Candidates in the 2014 Municipal Elections for: Algonquin Highlands; Dysart et al; Havelock-Belmont-Methuen; Highlands East; Minden Hills; North Kawartha; and Trent Lakes. Position on Issues Facing Voters in the Haliburton Sector of the Trent River Watershed The Coalition for Equitable Water Flow (CEWF) was formed in August 2006 to represent the interests of approximately 40,000 Ontario taxpayers who own residential shoreline property on the 41 reservoir and 20 flow-through lakes within the Haliburton sector of the Trent River watershed located in Haliburton County and northern Peterborough County. The property owners in these lake communities contribute approximately 80% of the municipal tax base and expect to see this reflected in local decision-making. The Coalition has identified a number of critical issues relating to watershed management: 1. The March 2008 Report of the federally appointed Panel on the Future of the Trent-Severn Waterway (TSW) “It’s all about the Water” identified the need for a new ‘integrated’ approach to water management at the watershed level and significant new investment in infrastructure. 2. In looking at the Trent watershed, almost 100% of the summertime flow at Lakefield comes from the reservoir lakes. This is the water that feeds the canal portion of the Trent Severn Waterway and provides drinking water to Peterborough and other municipalities. However, almost none of the reservoir system falls within the mandate of a Conservation Authority or any overarching watershed council. Instead, water management is mainly the responsibility of the Trent Severn Waterway. This is cause for concern and an opportunity for action by county and municipal levels of government in the upper watershed.

  • Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates in Minden Hills Note
    Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates in Minden Hills Note: Responses below are provided in the sequence received by CEWF Responses from Barb Reid Candidate for Reeve, Minden Hills Questions from the Coalition 1. Do you agree that municipalities have a role to play in working to improve water management in the Haliburton sector of the Trent River watershed? If so what is your personal commitment in this regard? Municipalities are directly affected by the dam operations decisions made by the Trent- Severn Waterway. No longer can we sit back and assume the TSW is taking the appropriate action to prevent or manage flooding. We have worked very hard over the past year to maintain closer relationships with TSW management so that local conditions are reported in a timely manner and dam operation decisions are made with sufficient lead time to avoid flooding. 2. Do you agree that, rather than seeking the establishment of Conservation Authorities in those areas currently lacking a CA, there is merit in municipalities contracting the existing CAs to provide specific expertise and services such as low water response planning or floodplain mapping for reservoir lakes deemed to have significant flood risk? I do not know if spending additional tax dollars on a proxy for a Conservation Authority will bring any additional information to the table that isn't already available. If there is a case to be made for this, I'd be very interested in learning more. 3. Do you support the key recommendation of the AECOM Water Management Study that the TSW adopt a constraint-based water management model capable of considering lake specific navigation and environmental constraints such as those already identified by Coalition member lake associations? If so, what would you do about it? I would like learn what this means and understand what a municipal role might look like.
