Choose experiences that align with your values. Whether attending a cultural festival, participating in responsible wildlife tours, or exploring Indigenous-led outdoor adventures, you can travel purposefully and help protect the land, culture, and people that make BC extraordinary.
From savouring Indigenous cuisine to connecting with local artists and Knowledge Keepers, every visit supports vibrant Indigenous economies, preserves cultures and forges a mutually enriching connection to this remarkable land and its Peoples.
Immerse yourself in Indigenous-led tours, art exhibits, and storytelling experiences honouring the histories, cultures, and futures of all First Nations and Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia.
Find unique, handcrafted items that reflect the spirit of BC. Shop for Indigenous artwork, sustainable goods, and ethically crafted souvenirs in local markets and galleries.
By foot, canoe, or kayak, reconnect with the environment through eco-friendly adventures. Whether you’re listening to the trees sheltered by the forest canopy or paddling for different perspectives on the city, you are hearing part of the story.
From the airport to the mountains, champion sustainability and celebrate Indigenous ingredients and methods. From coastal seafood to wild-harvested delicacies, the Indigenous culinary scenes in Vancouver and Whistler offer a taste of place rooted in respect for the land.
