A local first nations band will be getting some help during the Canada Winter Games.
The Lheidli T’enneh, the official host First Nation Has signed a statement of cooperation with Aboriginal Tourism BC.
The agency’s Chair Brenda Baptiste says they will be providing marketing services during the games.
“In order to help build our Aboriginal tourism presence in this area,” says Baptiste, “because Aboriginal tourism is good for the entire economy in the region.”
Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dominic Frederick says the agency will mostly be helping at the Pavilion that will showcase Aboriginal culture.
“And other Aboriginal groups from all over will be able to entertain the visitors.”
Both sides are hoping this will lead to more Aboriginal tourism in the region.
