Follow along as we profile the faces in our communities who make our hearts glow and the country’s heart beat.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Timing was not on my side when I launched a series of tiny vacation cabins perched on a wooded lot in Whitehorse. Despite the challenges of last year, I discovered the demand is there. The Yukon and the North attract a unique type of visitor who embrace the environment and celebrate innovative design that supports the conservation of nature. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ My love of design and creating spaces for people to meet and enjoy nature is what drew me to launch a tourism business. The cabins are considered a ‘landscape hotel’ for the eco-attributes and ability to blend in, allowing the surrounding natural beauty to be fully experienced. The uniqueness of the design–the small 300-sq-ft-size allowed me to invest in higher end touches–has garnered significant interest and word of mouth is spreading. For me, the future of tourism is still bright and an important part of my community. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #CanadaNice #ForGlowingHearts⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ *Though now might not be the right time to travel, there are many meaningful ways to support businesses in your community.
