This summer, I’m working with both the Canadian Tourism Commission and Matador Network on a really cool initiative called Explore Canada Like a Local. Over the next six months, Matador and the CTC are sending journalists on independent trips around the country. These aren’t fam tours or press trips. They are journalist-designed itineraries that aim to capture in-depth stories about people, place and culture. While the initiative will feature trips in each province, I am stoked to be covering the bulk of Alberta, including Jasper, Banff, and Drumheller.
