International Indigenous Tourism Conference in Saskatoon

Oct 29, 2018 | 5:27 AM

Saskatoon will be welcoming people from around the world this week for the 2018 International Indigenous Tourism Conference. Keith Henry from the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada says they’re expecting between 500-600 delegates to attend the two day conference. Henry adds that Saskatchewan is experiencing lower numbers when it comes to Indigenous Tourism compared to other provinces and territories. Overall, Indigenous Tourism has been booming and Henry says they would like to see Saskatchewan be a part of the future growth. That along with partnerships between Tourism Saskatchewan, Tourism Saskatoon, Dakota Dunes and Wanuskewin were among the reasons to host the annual conference in Saskatoon. Henry adds this year’s conference will provide an opportunity for people to get up to date research including a new vision to help grow Indigenous tourism across Canada. Those interested in attending the event can do so by visiting the Indigenous Tourism Conference website.
The two day conference runs Tuesday October 30th and Wednesday October 31st at TCU Place.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
