Frequently Asked Questions
I’d like to post my York Region event in the Experience York Region event calendar. How do I do this?
Click on the “Submit Your Listing” button located in the top right hand corner of the home page. For first time users, you will be guided to register for an Experience York Region member’s account. You can then log in and post your event with your user ID and password. Please make a note of your passwords. If you forget your password, you can request that the password be sent to you once you log in. The event calendar is easy to use and instructions are provided.
How long will it take for my event to appear on the Experience York Region calendar?
Once we authorize your member file (one to three business days), your events will automatically appear on the event calendar. The event calendar is shared with Central Counties Tourism and will also appear on the Central Counties new website as an added benefit to you.
I’d like to post my local event poster in the Experience York Region content. How can I do this?
You can email your event information to info@experienceyorkregion.com. We require a Jpeg file of your poster or event image. Pictures should be 640 pixels width by 450 pixels height; please do not email us a PDF file. Please provide a concise description of your event – who, what, where, when, why and how much, if there’s an admission fee. We will try our best to post your event within two business days (without a total guarantee) and may edit the content based on available space. Please send us your information at least four (4) weeks before your event is held.
Is there a cost to posting my event on ExperienceYorkRegion.com?
There is no cost to becoming an Experience York Region member and posting your event – this is a free marketing service provided by the York Region Arts Council, which manages the site content.
My event takes place outside of York Region; will you feature my event on ExperienceYorkRegion.com?
ExperienceYorkRegion.com profiles only those events, artists, organizations and tourism providers that are located in each of the York Region’s nine municipalities – Georgina, East Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Whitchurch-Stouffville, King Township and Markham.
