Mandate of the Dryden Trailblazer
Tourism Association (DTTA)
The DTTA uses Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) funds to advance the City of Dryden as a tourist destination by supporting and promoting local events, initiatives, and infrastructure that bring people to the City.
Do you have an idea that promotes tourism in the community?
With a simple application, the DTTA committee can help by providing funds to the Dryden area, clubs, groups, and events (new and old) that attract visitors to the Dryden area.

We have created a simple and straight-forward funding application for you to use. This application is currently available on www.dryden.ca
