Seasons of Opportunity is a community-led project to develop a comprehensive, practical four-season visitor economy strategy for Prince Edward County. Grounded in local data and community knowledge, the project will:
Conduct a detailed needs assessment of the current visitor economy;
Identify strengths, gaps, and seasonal opportunities across all four seasons;
Develop practical, actionable tactics focused on business development and year-round viability;
Produce a clear strategy with focused priorities that partners and community can align around and act on.
Strategy development is being undertaken by key County economic and community development organizations, including PEC Chamber of Commerce, the municipality, Visit The County, County Arts and Picton BIA. The partners developing this strategy are the ones that will implement it; working together to strengthen and diversify the County economy.
Purpose Seasons of Opportunity exists to translate shared community knowledge into a strategy that works: helping businesses thrive beyond the summer season and building an economy that works for everyone who lives, works, and creates in Prince Edward County.
Vision A Prince Edward County that thrives year-round — where businesses, residents, artists, and tourism operators all benefit from a diversified, resilient visitor economy.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Stable, year-round employment and reduced income unpredictability for workers and operators
Local businesses are equipped to sustain and grow operations across all four seasons
A recognized four-season destination for arts, culture, and creativity attracting high-value visitors throughout the year
A County that attracts and retains youth and working-age residents
Prince Edward County known as a destination where visitors stay longer, spend more, and return in every season
