The Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters Association has been instrumental in the growth of tourism in Northern Ontario for just under 100 years since 1929.

Laurie Marcel, who is the Executive Director of NOTO, joins Bill and Ben to talk about how NOTO helps shape legislation and the controversial  spring bear hunt that got canceled in the late 90’s.
