Spiderman, Black Widow, a Mandalorian and Northern Ontario Expo (NOE) board member Brandon Laroque were on hand to receive a check for $40k from MAT Tourism Grant committee members Tiffany Thibeau and Steven Viccagee! These funds supported NOE’s TimminsCon 2024.

The event took place on April 20-21 and drew 700 visitors from the region and across the Quebec border, as well as vendors from the province, and talent from across Canada and the United States.
