Tourism 91原创 is moving out of the 91原创 Events Centre.

With rent running at around $80,000 a year, the LEC has become too expensive, John Aldag advised Township council on Monday.

鈥淲e鈥檙e looking for a more affordable home,鈥� said Aldag, who chairs Tourism 91原创鈥檚 board of directors.

He said later that a visitors鈥� centre committee was asked to review Tourism 91原创鈥檚 tenure at the LEC.

鈥樷�滻t found that our rent costs were out of line with our budget,鈥� Aldag said.

The committee is now looking for a new location.

Aldag, who led the committee that recommended the LEC for the tourist agency, said that an office close to Highway 1 has been all but ruled out.

He noted that when 91原创 had a tourist information centre close to the freeway, staff found that the majority of people who stopped by simply wanted directions to a location or event in Vancouver, got back into their cars and returned to the freeway.
