Arts, Culture, Recreation and Tourism

June understands that The Town of The Blue Mountains needs to be a vibrant, connected, and prosperous community for residents first and foremost. She believes that investments in arts, culture, recreation, and tourism should enhance the quality of life of those who call this community home while strengthening the local economy and preserving the character that makes our town unique.

Building on the Town's new Tourism Strategy, June supports a balanced approach to tourism growth that leverages regional partnerships, attracts year-round visitors, and delivers tangible benefits to residents and local businesses. With more than three million visitors annually, the focus must be on responsible growth that supports community infrastructure, protects our natural assets, and maintains the welcoming small-town atmosphere residents value.

June also recognizes the significant opportunity to expand and support Agri-tourism by showcasing our farms, orchards, vineyards, markets, and local food experiences. Strengthening connections between agriculture and tourism will help diversify the local economy, support farming families, celebrate our rural heritage, and create new opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

By supporting local artists, cultural organizations, community events, parks, trails, and recreational programs, June is committed to fostering a thriving, four-season community where residents can live, work, play, and prosper for generations to come.
