Be a Champion for Outdoor Tourism
The Voice of Northern Ontario’s Outdoor Tourism Operators
NOTO represents lodges, camps, outfitters, municipalities, and industry partners across Northern Ontario.
We bring operator concerns directly to government and keep members informed about issues affecting their business.
The Role of Corporate & Community Champions
Corporate and Community Champions play a vital role in strengthening the voice and sustainability of Ontario’s outdoor tourism industry. Their support helps ensure that outfitters—many of whom operate in remote and rural regions—have the representation, resources, and advocacy needed to navigate regulatory changes, protect access to natural resources, and grow their businesses.
By standing with NOTO, these champions help amplify the collective voice of operators across the province and contribute to the long-term success of an industry that supports local economies, jobs, and communities throughout Ontario.
Membership Benefits
NOTO membership delivers high-impact value at a low cost, supporting operators with advocacy, insights, and savings that far exceed their investment. Many of these businesses rely on the products, services, and partnerships provided by organizations like yours.
