To kick off Saskatchewan Tourism Week, Weyburn Tourism launched the “Be a Tourist in your own Hometown” campaign for the second summer in a row.
The campaign will take place from May 27 to September 2, with a winner to be announced shortly after.
This initiative encourages local residents to explore and document the vast options of summer activities available in the community. As they experience events taking place this summer they can act as ambassadors and promoters for family and friends that come to stay and play.
“If residents of Weyburn and area love our community, visitors will automatically love it as well,” said Tourism Weyburn Executive Director, Twila Walkeden.
“We challenge our residents to take part in diverse activities and events in Weyburn and document their experiences on social media using the hashtags #ThisIsWeyburn, #WeyburnTourism, #BAT2019.” (Shown above was the grand prize winner from last year's campaign, a photo taken by Nadine Adderley of her daughter).
Whether it’s a Weyburn Beavers Baseball game, the Wheat Festival or a look through the Soo Line Historical Museum, there is a vast number of experiences the community has to offer.
“Let’s work together to spread the word that Weyburn is a great place to live and visit,” said Walkeden.
All those who document their Hometown experience use the three hashtags will be entered into a draw to win a surprise giveaway package.
