In this informal video, the speaker announces that the Tourism Infusion Handbook is now publicly available at tourisminfusion.org. The handbook is a free, bilingual (English/French) toolkit designed for communities to set up “infusion” events that attract healthcare workers and generate tourist revenue. The speaker shares that they and a colleague have run such events in Nanaimo for the past two years, with the most recent drawing about 1,000 participants, and that the site includes videos and materials in both languages. No account creation or payment is required—users can simply visit the site, browse the resources, and apply what fits their community. The speaker apologizes for the video quality but encourages viewers to use the handbook to organize their own infusion events across Canada.

I was going to make this a proper video, but I'm wiped. This has been a week from hell for a variety of reasons. However, I did want to show you, and this is what I was going to make the video about earlier because some of you missed it, the Tourism Infusion Handbook is now online for you. It is at tourisminfusion.org. If you in your community want to set up one of these and attract healthcare workers, attract tourist dollars, Jocelyn and I have done it here in Nanaimo for the last 2 years. The last one we did attracted like 1,000 people. This is a photo of them. So anyway, like I said, this would be— oh, let me show you. Is this going to be back? Oh, it's also, it's in French and English. This might be backwards. I'm so sorry. This is a terrible video. But so for instance, you've got all of the French, you've got all the English, and it's all French there as well. We've got some videos in here of people who— let's see if I can find it— like working with your health authority, for instance. Um, and there's the French. Anyway, this video sucks, but I don't have the energy in it to, to make a proper one. So tourisminfusion.org. You don't have to credit us, you don't have to pay anything, it's free. Uh, you don't even have to set up an account. You literally just go to tourisminfusion.org and read through Take what you can use, leave the rest, and, and yeah, go do some infusions, Canada. It works really well. Alright, bye.
