Through the Eyes of a Stranger

I'm currently attending a workshop on experiential tourism in Cornwallis, led by two tourism professionals from other parts of Canada. The information is overwhelming, and invigorating. There is no shortage of ideas and enthusiasm when you assemble a group of local tourism operators and add a couple catalysts like Celes and Todd!

But what never ceases to amaze me, is how the well travelled tourism and experience professional from away views our part of the world... to hear Celes and Todd talk about the opportunities we have here; to hear them talk about that special local person they encountered, a unique gem, the one we simply call "neighbour"; to watch them create a new excitement among us - it renews my pride in the area and fans the flame in me that wants to share my special world with others!

What we have here is truly amazing to those not priveleged enough to call this home, even though it seems normal to us. We must remember that... always!
