Shownotes

When you think of traveling to Canada, what do you think of? Maybe beautiful nature, ice hockey, or maple syrup. But these aspects are just a very small piece of Canada’s cultural identity, and tourism identity. Canada has a long, rich, and diverse history that was shaped by the people who were here first: Canada’s First Nations.

Juanita Marois of Métis Crossing joins the show to discuss.

Guest: Juanita Marois is an inspiring leader, visionary, and advocate for Indigenous tourism who has transformed Métis Crossing into a premier cultural destination in Alberta. With a career rooted in cultural tourism and Indigenous leadership, Juanita is passionate about the intersection of heritage, sustainability, and economic development.
