If tourism is something that interests you, register for an Experiential Excellence tourism workshop at the TRCC on Friday.

Community Futures North Central Development will be holding the workshop in partnership with the Manitoba Tourism Education Council and Tourism North Manitoba.

One of the Development Officers for North Central Development Charlene Kissick explains what the participants will get out of attending this workshop.

“We look at elements of a great experience, what we already have here and what could be very interesting to a visitor. I think it’s kind of looking at things a little differently. I think we’re very used to what we have, but we don’t recognize that a visitor might think ‘That’s so cool, and I never get to do that at home, so let’s do that here.’ An example might be instead of watching dog sled races, participating; driving the team, working with the musher for an hour, or feeding the dogs. So adding that bit to it, instead of just watching something, you’re doing something, you’re experiencing it.”

The workshop will run Friday from 9 until 4 in the TRCC’s Mary Fenske Boardroom. Registration is free and lunch will be provided.
