For Chyanne Trenholm, meeting people from all over the world is an everyday occurrence at Homalco Wildlife & Cultural Tours. Fittingly, her love for tourism started with the outdoors. Combined with her educational background in physical education, it has well-positioned her to connect visitors with nature and introduce them to Canada’s indigenous culture in a way that never would have been possible in their home countries or cities.

As far as Andy Day is concerned, he has the luckiest job in the world – it brings him to the most beautiful places to meet all sorts of “beautiful people.” This can include anyone who works in jobs that connect people to the land. As the CEO of the BC Parks Foundation, that is his mission – to bring people to nature. The roots of this journey go back to his decision to pursue law or go a more adventurous route; by choosing the latter, it opened him up to the diversity of life and, in turn, the planet.
