I've said it before and I 'll say it again, if you want the promotion to take off then get the Government of Ontario to do it. Jobs, jobs, jobs that's is what Ontario is trying to create today. We need to sell the economic development side of the ROF (jobs, roads, Native relations, health care, clean water etc).
There should be someone from NOT at Queens Park every day until we get the Premier or one of the Ministers to acknowledge the ROF publicly. If the Liberals won't do it let's get the Conservative MNR critic to fly his plane up there to see for himself what is going on. Surely there are grants available as well, that can be used to tell the ROF story to Ontario at least. Politicians love to announce grants.
Get the politicians to sell the story as part of their jobs, jobs, jobs strategy. Remember 'good things grow, in Ontariooo' (current ad campaign here)
