We're looking for creative travellers to Northern Ontario to share their travel content on Northern Ontario Travel to promote the region's partners, locations, and all-round amazing vibes. The goal?

We're creating a carousel of traveller-created videos on Northern Ontario Travel that will be clickable to your socials, AND you get paid! Here's an easy reference for the types of content we are looking for, the areas where we'd love to have coverage, and a rundown of Northern Ontario's personality.
What is Northern Ontario?
Northern Ontario is a vast and spectacular region made up of vibrant cities, pristine wilderness, and tons of adventure. With more than 250,000 lakes and rivers to paddle, wildlife to photograph, craft beers and burgers (meat and plant-based) to enjoy, and thousands of trails to traverse, it's safe to say you could spend a lifetime here discovering everything it has to offer. With so many things to do, places to explore, and activities to enjoy year-round, it’s a popular destination for travellers from around the world.
The area is divided into four Regional Tourism Organizations:
The Seven—Northeastern Ontario | Algoma Country | Superior Country | Sunset Country
Here's a map of RTO 13a, 13b, and 13c. It's pretty big!
Northern Ontario Travel is Destination Northern Ontario's official digital magazine and covers the entire region, from the Manitoba border to Algonquin Park.
