That is the messaging coming from a new initiative launched by local stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>RENT YOUR ROOMS MUSKOKA, a collaborative initiative between Muskoka Tourism, Huntsville \/ Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce, Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce, Gravenhurst Chamber of Commerce and Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce, is encouraging Muskokans to rent rooms in their homes as a way to earn supplementary income and to lighten the short-term housing needs for seasonal employees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;May to October is an important time for our industry. As our tourism businesses ramp up operations, they often recruit seasonal employees to fill their employee needs,&#8221; says Jordan Mulligan, Marketing Manager at Muskoka Tourism. &#8220;These seasonal employees are vital to our tourism economy, but far too often our partners have to turn away good candidates because there is no short-term housing available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Project partners hope that the RENT YOUR ROOMS MUSKOKA marketing campaign will encourage local Muskokans to become renters for a few months of the year. Through a grassroots marketing campaign, the initiative will create a list of room availabilities across the district. The list of room availabilities will become an online rental classifieds tailored to short-term employees.<\/p>\n<p>Once the centralized inventory is created, the group plans on sharing the information with tourism businesses in Muskoka, who can use it as a resource for recruiting seasonal employees.<\/p>\n<p>Says Norah Fountain, General Manager of the Muskoka Lakes Chamber of Commerce, \u201cWe consistently hear from our stakeholders that housing for seasonal employees is a challenge. This new campaign won\u2019t solve these issues, but it might help ease the pain. The end goal is to help our tourism partners recruit great staff for the 2019 season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to RENT YOUR ROOM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Muskokans interested in renting out a room in their house between the months of May to October 2019 are asked to submit their offering through an online submission form. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/rent-your-rooms-muskoka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Click here to access the submission form<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
