Moccasin Trails and Indigenous World Winery Selected to Receive Indigenous Tourism Grants

WestJet and the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) are providing nine, $10,000 grants to Indigenous tourism businesses across Canada that have been devastated by the shutdown of the tourism industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants were originally earmarked through the WestJet/ITAC strategic national partnership, signed in November 2019.

Congratulations to the Thompson Okanagan Recipients of the 2020/2021 WestJet/ITAC grants!

• Moccasin Trails: Kamloops

• Indigenous World Winery: Kelowna

The grant recipients will be spotlighted on WestJet’s social channels and its newsroom over the next year.

The recipients of these grants were given the news in March 2021 and their reactions were captured in a new WestJet/ITAC video. The video features Robert & Bernice Louie of Indigenous World Winery and Greg Hopf of Moccasin Trails.

The WestJet/ITAC strategic national partnership is a three-year commitment that outlines how the airline will foster opportunities for Indigenous tourism by showcasing Indigenous People’s culture and history while bringing global audiences to take part in Indigenous tourism experiences.
