NORTH BAY, Ont. — A new lobby group has been formed in North Bay, Ont. to boost tourism efforts in the northern-Ontario city, according to BayToday.ca.

The new board consists of:

  • chair — Wesam Metwalli, CMP, Homewood Suites by Hilton North Bay
  • vice chair — Paul Enqvist, Best Western North Bay Hotel & Conference Centre
  • secretary/treasurer — Crystal Thompson, Homewood Suites by Hilton North Bay
  • board member — Erika Bayliss, Hampton Inn by Hilton
