This morning’s Coffee with the Chamber was such a meaningful way to begin Tourism Week (April 20–24) here in Edmonton. ☕✨
As an Indigenous tourism operator, this week is very special to me. Tourism is not just about travel—it’s about connection, culture, storytelling, and community. It supports so many businesses across Edmonton, the surrounding region, Alberta, and our entire country… and it supports families like mine.
Today’s Tourism Week Kickoff, in partnership with Explore Edmonton and the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, brought together an incredible group of business leaders, tourism partners, and community champions. It was inspiring to be in a room filled with people who are all working to showcase Edmonton as a vibrant and welcoming destination.
Held at Parallèle Alberta, this event highlighted the many individuals and organizations who are helping drive economic growth through tourism. Every experience, every business, and every story shared plays an important role in creating something truly special for visitors and our community.
I am so grateful to be part of this growing tourism community. Let’s continue to support local, uplift one another, and celebrate the stories that connect us all. 💫
