The inaugural SLEDFEST in Wasaga Beach presented by Beach BOOSTER Promotions this past weekend was a huge success. The two day Event proved that Wasaga Beach is indeed the Snowmobile Capital of Ontario. It was great to see our Beachfront lined up with so many people and how the officials produced a professionally organized Snowmobile Drag Racing Event on our World Famous Beach. Mother Nature was on our side bringing beautiful sunshine on Saturday and although it was still a little cold, it kept the snow nice and crisp for the sledders. Along with the incredible view of Blue Mountain you just could not ask for a better location. Local businesses were busy and everywhere you went in town sledders could be seen parked throughout our community. The event brought families and visitors from all over to Wasaga Beach. People attending were very positive and everyone is looking forward to next year!

Doors open 12:00 pm decade, the Creative Cluster (in
the Creative Economy) has grown at a rate even faster than our overall economy. Between 1999 and 2007, Ontario's Creative Cluster job growth was double that of the rest of the economy - 38.3% compared with 17% in the overall Ontario economy. Ontario cultural industry firms – including companies in the film, television, publishing, music, commercial theatre and interactive digital media industries – have always been leaders in the domestic entertainment industry; today many are reaching for – and finding – success in markets around the world. The Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival promises to be a key driver in this area for economic growth.
As the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival grows it will contribute to the Creative Economy in Southern Georgian Bay creating jobs, attracting new residents, attracting more visitors and making Wasaga Beach the preferred destination to live work and play. We have tripled our submissions this season. We feature nine international submissions and our local Southern Georgian Bay entries are better than ever. Have a look at the attached information, "Be the Film Festival" and together we can achieve our Big Hairy Audacious Goals for the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival.
