Your Comments Please…

Last month we added two new features to our Ontario Festivals Visited website. Both were aimed at allowing visitors to our website to tell us what they thought about the festivals and events they attended. Each event page now contains a comment section and a survey questionnaire. Although the comment and survey sections on these pages refer to festival featured on the page, there is another page called “Visitor’s Forum Plus” (http://www.ontariofestivalsvisited.ca/visitors_forum.htm) that allows visitors to comment on any event. I believe that information is the key to success. By providing these two features, it is our hope the festival and event organizers will read them and learn from them. The more organizers know about the people who attend their event, the more they can improve and “fine tune”. Any organizer who thinks his or her event is perfect is only kidding themselves and is likely in for a rude awakening! This month we are working on another information feature. It will be a new section within the Ontario Festivals Visited website. The new section is entitled “Festival News”. This new section will be devoted to providing the latest festival and event news from across Ontario and beyond. Although we will be collecting “News” from various sources, we encourage festival and event organizers to send us information about their event. A submission form will be available to make the exchange of information easy to provide. We will also be encouraging site and festival visitors to comment on what they have seen and read. All in all, we are hoping for a total interchange of information! Please watch for this new section, "Festival News", starting May 2009. Become involved. Let us know your news and ideas!
