Oilers' Darnell Nurse: 5 Potential Trade Destinations
Ep 562 - Indigenous Tourism's Many Benefits Guest: Chyanne Trenholm, Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours By Stuart McNish 'It is challenging to know how the tourism industry in British Columbia is going to be affected by 'elbows up' nationalism,' says Chyanne Trenholm of Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours, a First Nations tourism operator. 'I can tell you we are seeing an increase in interest and in bookings. Just how much business will be up this summer, it's too early to tell. But business is up.' A move to unique tourism experiences, such as indigenous wilderness adventures, is in line with changes in sustainable and culturally authentic vacations. Trenholm says, 'The Homalco First Nations take visitors on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. They see grizz salmon fishing and orcas breaching right in front of their eyes as an eagle flies overhead. It's breathtaking.' The benefits of indigenous tourism include cultural preservation, reconciliation, and jobs. Trenholm says, 'More than 7,400 people are working in direct full-time indigenous tourism jobs. The sector generates more than $700 million in direct economic output.' We invited Chyanne Trenholm of Homalco Wildlife and Cultural Tours to join us for a Conversation That Matters about indigenous tourism and its benefits to British Columbia.

Carney praises Canadian unity as Canada Day celebrations kick off
In his first Canada Day address as prime minister, Mark Carney emphasized Canadian unity in a "changing" world. "One hundred and fifty-eight years ago, a few provinces bet on the idea that they'd be stronger together than they ever could be apart. They were right, and so they became a new federation that's now grown into our strong, bilingual, multicultural and ambitious country," Carney said in his video address. That unity includes writing the country's "next chapter" together "in true partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis." The prime minister took a moment in the video to acknowledge the recent challenges the country has been facing. "The world is changing. Old friendships are fraying, our economy is being buffeted by a trade crisis and our values are being tested by attacks on democracy and freedoms," he said. In an interview with CBC's Catherine Cullen, Carney said "we'll see" if Canada and the U.S. can come to a trade deal by July 21, a previously agreed-upon deadline set by the two countries. "We're doing what is necessary in order to get the best deal for Canadians. If we get the best deal for Canadians, we will agree to it. If we can't we won't — it's that simple," he told CBC. Asked about a growing separatist movement in Alberta, Carney said he remembered tensions between Alberta and the federal government when he was growing up in the province. "What happened is we came together, helped build the province … everyone coming together," he said. "Alberta's a great province and this is an even greater country. The same's going to happen again." Carney noted in his address that Canadians have been uniting "in a more divided and dangerous world," pointing to his one Canadian economy plan as a way to push back against instability. "This is the greatest nation on earth. Our destiny is to make it greater still — not by what we say, but by what we do. Happy Canada Day," said Carney.
