What would a citizen of Truro who is not a member of the business community know the DTP for? The Canada Day fireworks display, the Santa Claus Parade, the annual Christmas Dreams Fashion Show, the annual Festival of Lights – we’re the marketing and promotions coordinator for these events. As you’ll see on our Facebook page, we’re also very involved in many other community events and festivals, working with volunteers and organizations who, like us, want to make these attractions even more popular. “With this being Canada’s 150th birthday, we are planning events that will bring the community out to enjoy all that we have to offer.” In what ways have you seen Downtown Truro evolve over the years? Downtown Truro has always been an illustrious downtown. Being so central to the province, we have a history of being a transportation hub, a focus for people from far and wide, not only for those close at hand. Like many downtowns we have always been ‘home’ to historically traditional businesses. In our case, some of those have been here for many generations of the same family
How many members are there in the URC? There areover 300professional, service and retail members. How long exactly has the Truro Downtown Partnership been in operation? Coming out of the old Mainstreet Program, the DTP has represented the interests of the downtown business community since 1979 – we have been in successful operation for nearly 40 years. We believe that, independently or in partnership with the Town of Truro and others, we are a driving force behind many of the downtown development and promotional initiatives that take place throughout any given year.
