Meet the 2020-21 OHTO Board of Directors
The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) has been making a name for itself over the past decade, supporting tourism in the region through creative content marketing and helping tourism operators to prioritize and focus on the right communications to capture their audiences.
Of course, whenever there are great things being accomplished there are usually great people in the background guiding the direction of the organization. At OHTO, those people are the OHTO board of directors – eight people who dedicate their time and energy to guiding OHTO’s tourism growth and direction now and in the future.
These are the tourism operators or the municipal or county staff who live and work in your communities, all of whom are doing their best to support tourism and growth in Ontario’s Highlands. These dedicated folks meet once a month to discuss the challenges that face the industry in Ontario and the rapidly evolving tourism landscape. As a governance board, the board oversees and guides the big picture strategy and policies for OHTO.
These are the people working for you, behind the scenes. Take a moment to read their stories and why they find value in serving on the board of directors, and what advice they’d have for those thinking of taking the leap and applying to be on the board.
Tegan Legge (Chief Governing Officer) – Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve

Corina Mansfield (Secretary) – Deep Roots Adventure
