North Bay, ON – April 6, 2022 – A new online directory for the film and television industry is now available to help productions connect with local businesses.
Announced last December as a partnership between the City of North Bay, Tourism North Bay and the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce, this guide is aimed at helping to direct visiting cast and crew members to the variety of services and product offerings available in the region.
“We are continuing to support the region’s film and television sector, which creates jobs and contributes tens of millions dollars annually to our local economy,” said Mayor Al McDonald. “We look forward to working with Tourism North Bay, the Chamber and other community partners to further position our City as a hub for the industry.”
The directory features several categories, including accommodations, art galleries and museums, bakeries and cafes, hair and esthetics, health and wellness, restaurants and breweries, retail and specialty goods, and tourism activities and experiences. To date, more than 100 businesses have registered and there are new listings being added regularly.
“Whether it’s cast and crew members seeking downtime activities or in need of late night catering options, this is another avenue for us to show visitors to North Bay what we have to offer,” said Steve Dreany, Executive Director of Tourism North Bay.
New listings will be accepted on an ongoing basis and businesses interested in being included in the guide are invited to register at no cost at Tourism North Bay. Additionally, any business interested in being considered as a filming location is asked to contact the Economic Development Department at: filming@northbay.ca for more details.
The directory, which is available at www.tourismnorthbay.com is being launched at a time when productions are scouting for locations and gearing up for filming in spring.
“We’re pleased to have partnered with the City of North Bay and Tourism North Bay on this initiative. Local businesses benefit each time a film or television production comes to town,” said Peter Chirico, President & CEO of the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce.
