Explore amazing properties where connecting with and celebrating local cultures is part of the package.
The best travel experiences move you. They ignite your curiosity, give you a fresh perspective and connect you to a place and its people in a meaningful way. And that boost can stay with you long after you return home and unpack your suitcase.
Keith Henry, president and CEO of the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada , sees Indigenous experiences as integral to the national tourism landscape. "If we're going to present Canada to the world to one another across this country, we need to do it in an honest and authentic way and tell the true history and story of our lands."
This kind of experiential hospitality is something she thinks was missing from Canada's tourism landscape. "We have lacked the platform to showcase who we are as a people, how we communicate and how we nourish each other," she said. Métis Crossing is also a space for Métis Nation citizens to connect and explore their culture, said Marois. "We are a place where Métis people — our youth, elders, entrepreneurs, artisans and families — gather to share and grow together.
"Experiential hospitality allows our guests to truly immerse themselves in learning about our history, culture and traditions," said Patricia Dunnett, general manager of Red Bank Lodge and Metepenagiag Heritage Park. "Our guests get a direct authentic experience with our local Indigenous guides and staff by participating in our traditional ceremonies, storytelling, trying our Indigenous cuisine and just forming connections.
"Our goal since day one has been to maintain the fishing experience our loyal clients have come to expect while reconnecting the lodge with the local community, people and history of this place," said the lodge's general manager, Corey Myers. "We undertook an extensive renovation and renewal project throughout COVID, updating all the guest-facing facilities on site, including the guest cabins.
