Owen Sound Visitor Guide - THE HEART OF GREY-BRUCE
http://www.owensound.ca/play/
Welcome to Owen Sound, the perfect home base from which to explore the
region. Affordable, accessible and inviting, the city is close to some of the area’s
best beaches, ski hills, cycling and hiking trails, rivers, waterfalls and farm-fresh
produce, plus the renowned cliff-tops and caves of the spectacular Bruce Peninsula.
Owen Sound offers all the amenities you need: Shopping, dining, arts, culture, recreation,
plus relaxed hospitality.
The joy of exploring the world is unlike few other life experiences. It is essential to recognise, value, and enjoy it as a result. All of that and more is accomplished on World Tourism Day. The annual celebration of World Tourism Day on September 27th is a significant occasion meant to raise public awareness of the significance of tourism in general.
The tourism sector not only promotes a country's growth and development but also encourages intercultural dialogue between tourists and locals. It encourages infrastructural growth and aids in the creation of thousands of employment across numerous industries. The World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) works to promote accessible travel while promoting sustainable tourism.
All nations will celebrate the 42nd World Tourism Day on September 17, 2022. The formal celebration, dubbed "Rethinking Tourism," will take place in Bali, Indonesia. The primary subjects of discussion will be the expansion of the tourism sector as well as how to improve travel in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Tourism has a significant impact on a nation's economy, as well as its image, brand value, and identity. There will therefore be discussions around "The Tourism We Want." Officials from Bali's tourism sector will oversee the event, and UNWTO state representatives will also be invited.

Waddell & Reed's Traveling World War I Exhibition Rolls into Mesa, Arizona,
at the Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation Museum
to Honor Veterans, Raise Funds & Awareness for National Treasures
Custom “big rig" traveling exhibit – developed in partnership with National World War I Museum –
makes 75-city tour to preserve cultural history during Waddell & Reed's 75th anniversary
Waddell & Reed Traveling WWI Exhibition and the Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation
Museum open free to public on Wednesday, January 18.
WHAT: Waddell & Reed – one of the country’s oldest mutual fund and financial planning companies –
will kick off an ambitious and unconventional acknowledgement of its 75th anniversary. In
partnership with Ivy Funds and the National World War I Museum, a custom 18-wheel “big rig”
truck has been transformed into a traveling World War I exhibition. Dubbed the “Honoring Our
History Tour,” the exhibition will visit 75 Waddell & Reed communities across the country –
stopping at local museums and cultural institutions to raise funds and awareness. Mesa,
Arizona, is the 29th stop on the 75-city tour.
This unique traveling exhibition offers a free, interactive and educational experience designed
by the National World War I Museum – the first and only American museum solely dedicated to
preserving the artifacts, history and personal experiences of World War I. The Waddell & Reed
Traveling World War I Exhibition features 66 artifacts, such as weapons, uniforms, posters and
flags. In addition, visitors will experience the tight conditions of trench warfare, see the
relatively primitive tools, weapons, equipment and uniforms, amid sounds and sights of war 100
years ago. The year-long tour honors the men and women who served in World War I – and
those who have since bravely served our country and protected our freedom.
WHEN/WHERE: The Waddell & Reed Traveling World War I Exhibition and the Commemorative Air Force
Arizona Wing Aviation Museum are open free to the public:
• Wednesday, January 18 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Located in the Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation Museum, 2017 N.
Greenfield Road, Mesa, Arizona (Falcon Field Airport at the intersection of Greenfield and
McKellips Road).
3. • Admission is free to both museums on Wednesday, Jan. 18.
Waddell & Reed kicked off this exhibition tour in July 2011.
WHY: “The stories of our past can’t help but influence our future. For that reason, we cannot take our
cultural institutions for granted.” – Kevin Costner, Honorary Board Member, National World
War I Museum
In times when state and municipal budgets are tight, Waddell & Reed and Ivy Funds recognized
the need to support museums and cultural institutions across the country. To celebrate the
company’s 75th anniversary, Waddell & Reed created the Waddell & Reed Traveling WWI
Exhibition. The exhibition’s mission is to raise awareness and funding for these national
treasures. By traveling to 75 cities in nearly every state, Waddell & Reed hopes to raise $500,000
in donations over the course of the year. Funds raised at each stop will be divided equally
between the local museum and the National World War I Museum, based in Kansas City, Mo.
The two founders of Waddell & Reed, Chauncey Waddell and Cameron Reed, were veterans of
World War I who formed a partnership in 1937 to create one of the longest-standing mutual
fund and financial planning companies in the country. The exhibit includes founder Chauncey
Waddell’s flight gear, his flight suit and log book.
The Waddell & Reed Traveling WWI Exhibition will stop at museums of all classifications — including
those focused on art, history, local culture, education and sports. A schedule for the tour, which will
travel coast to coast in 2011/2012, can be found at www.honoringourhistory.com.
WHO: Waddell & Reed, founded in 1937 and one of the oldest mutual fund and financial planning companies
in the country, in partnership with the National World War I Museum, the only American museum
solely dedicated to preserving the objects, history and personal experiences of a war whose impact still
echoes today. Ivy Funds, an affiliate of Waddell & Reed, offers a range of investment strategies to help
investors best meet their long-term goals, all designed with a disciplined approach and global
perspective. The Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing Aviation Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization dedicated to celebrating our heritage of freedom through flight, education, exhibition and
remembrance. The museum consists of both operational warbirds and numerous static exhibits
dedicated to our military aviation veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
MORE: Every visitor has the opportunity to make a financial donation to support the non-profit museum via
electronic or cash donations. For more information or to make a donation, visit
