Spirit Way has summer guided tours

Learn more about Thompson by taking a Spirit Way tour. This summer Spirit Way has hired an official tour guide and is offering 2-hour tours around our community.

 

Volker Beckmann with Spirit Way says the tours aren't expensive, either.

 

“This is an introductory price because the tours are worth more than that. But because it was the first year we wanted to test it out. We will only be charging 5 dollars. So through MMF and Spirit Way we’re subsidizing the tour.”

 

This year Spirit Way was able to acquire a grant through the Manitoba Metis Federation which helped them hire the employee.

 

Tour Guide Carley Wells is responsible for visiting the train station, hotels, and local attractions to promote the tours, as well as conduct the tours.

 

The walk starts at the Heritage North Museum and ends at the tribute to northern aviation by the Burntwood River near the Miles Hart Bridge.

 

Beckmann says Spirit Way hopes to find a way to keep these tours going after the summer.

 

“We’re not in position to hire someone else but now we’re trying to find out if there are any seniors who are semi-retired or retired who are interested in doing a half day ambassadorship. That is an option we will explore.”
