Vancouver’s Women Making a Difference: Sustainable Tourism and Indigenous Stories

This week, I’m spotlighting the incredible women driving sustainable tourism and preserving Indigenous culture in Vancouver. After an immersive three-day tour hosted by the Fairmont Waterfront, I connected with inspiring women who are shaping the city’s environmental and cultural future. Kristyna Vogel from the Fairmont Waterfront shares how the hotel leads the way in sustainable travel by supporting local environmental initiatives. Candace Campo, co-founder of Talasay Tours, delves into Indigenous storytelling and the importance of connecting with the land’s cultural heritage. Sara Unrau from Wayward Distillery discusses eco-friendly distilling and how they support local agriculture and bee populations. Julia Common from Bees Actually explains the vital role bees play in Vancouver’s ecosystem and her partnership with the Fairmont Waterfront. Finally, Inez Cook, owner of Salmon n' Bannock, shares her journey from the Sixties Scoop to celebrating Indigenous cuisine and culture through her restaurant.
