The iHeart Community Calendar
Navigating the Calendar
We get it! There's a lot to see here. That's why we've added a number of ways for you to find what you're looking for... and to browse smarter.
- To view event listings by town or city, use the Location Filter to the right.
- Browse by event type by clicking on the category you'd like to see more of; for example, clicking on "Free" will pull up all calendar entries that you do not have to pay to participate in.
- You can also type in keywords into the calendar's search bar, such as "yoga" or "bingo."
The past five years have seen a tremendous amount of change regarding the funding and management of scenic byways, including the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, and we would like to gain your insight and thoughts on how SWT can better help your community and region participate in planning the future direction of how the trail is marketed, interpreted, and planned for development. In the past five years we have seen the end of the National Scenic Byway Program as a federally funded and managed initiative; the loss of the America Byways Resource Center; the loss of our founding President /CEO Teresa Mitchell; and, most recently the departure of our President/CEO since June 2012, Mike Bristol. At the same time, NYS has modified how it funds scenic byway projects, now including them in the state Economic Development Council funding process.
All of these events have had an effect on how SWT can respond to your needs, and assist your community. At these "chats" we will provide you with a brief update on the exciting events/activities currently underway by SWT, and invite your thoughts and comments as part of an open forum.
We will be having 5 "chats" across the trail and would welcome your participation at a "chat" convenient to you. If there are others that you think should be included, please feel free to pass this email along.
