These are a group of people who are dedicated to promoting ALL of Elora. They want to help you plan your visit, by making sure you know all of your options for shopping, Dining, adventure, and culture.

There is another facebook page for Elora, Ontario - that is run by a local business owner who promotes his own businesses and his claim is: "Our Mission to promote Elora Ontario as a World Class Tourism destination." but if you look closely, he is mostly promoting his store which sells olive oil and vinegar, and his pet friendly rental apartment. 

Do not be fooled by wolf in sheep's clothing. He is an unscrupulous business owner who trashtalks other businesses, blackballs them from his fan page, and actively tries to do harm to other businesses in the area.

He has over 10,000 followers, but he is NOT the one you want to follow. The truth about Elora, Ontario is found at
