INSPIRING EVERYDAY EXPLORERS Through wildlife tales and trails
If you are itching to get reacquainted with returning songbirds, a weekend touring Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve might be just what you need. Organizers have put together a package aimed at birders. The tour is guided by Cal Cuthbert, lodging at local B&Bs and birds provided by Mother Nature.

The Canadian Badlands, which we have had the pleasure of working with, is holding their 2nd annual conference March 28&29 in Drumheller. The focus is on tourism development and includes info on working with media and getting ready for investment. And there’s a ‘cluster muster’ – if you haven’t been to one before, its a chance to learn how group tourism amenities can attract more travelers.
I'm looking forward to the Travel Media Association – Alberta chapter's professional development days. Seema Dhawan, is sharing her tips on travel writing, Benjamin Carlier is sharing some photography wisdom and we get the chance to see a search and rescue dog in action (staged for us, no people will be harmed in the demo!)
Thanks to Neil Bosquet of PRWizard for his superb organizational abilities
