Pat Robitaille
Pat Robitaille is an accomplished musician, artist manager, brand developer, and has spent the last 20 years crafting unique, community-based collaborations which we’ve come to know as experiences. Pat has recently completed a formal mentorship alongside Celes Davar and Ontario’s Southwest.
Since then, he has guided the development and delivery of four new tourism experiences for Haldimand County’s Great to Grand program, as well as the Chippewas of the Thames’ CBYF youth experiential tourism 3-day training program. Pat supports the development of community collaborations, local sourcing & partnerships, and draws connections in meaningful ways with a vast breadth and depth of understanding of the a-traditional tourism landscape.
He is the 2022 recipient of the Economic Developers Council of Ontario’s Emerging Professional Scholarship Award. Pat works with operators to help them draw connections, facilitate appreciative inquiry, and lend expertise from an on-the ground perspective as a celebrated part of Canada’s folk-rock landscape.
