The ultimate ice shack is coming

Tourism North Bay and Canadore have partnered up to promote the city and to attract students to the college.

Canadore president George Burton say the idea is to have Tourism North Bay’s Ice Hut at trade shows where they can promote North Bay as a great winter destination.

He says they’ll be upping their game in February when they’ll go from the current shack (below) to chic. (above)

“It is pretty chic. It’s an ice shack on steroids with all the luxuries one can imagine. I can tell you there’s never been an ice shack like this anywhere in the world,” he says.

Steve Dreany is the Director of Tourism North Bay. He says the partnership is going to help both organizations.

“When Canadore is out they can help us sell the community and we can do the same thing and promote Canadore College when we’re out selling travelling to North Bay,” he says.
