A Booth for Durham Region's Busiest Venues

Why Durham
Hockey, campuses and growing downtowns
Durham has a strong local identity, a big student population and downtowns that keep getting busier.
- Game nights. Oshawa Generals fans fill downtown bars before and after games.
- Campus crowd. Ontario Tech University and Durham College bring thousands of students to north Oshawa.
- Growing suburbs. Whitby, Ajax and Pickering have new restaurants and entertainment venues looking for a draw.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
