“Against much good, solid advice we said, ‘why not?’ And the choice to follow a dream and not good advice has defined our lives ever since...all for the opportunity to make a living on our skis in a beautiful place and to live a life on our terms.”
Our latest blog Dreaming a Life from Boulder Hut Adventure’s own Sarah Yancey takes a look at the decision to follow dreams and where it’s taken her and her family.
The BLBCA recently attended two prominent tourism events in the province.
On Wednesday, Oct. 11th, the Aboriginal Tourism BC hosted a Stakeholder Forum and co-hosted a networking reception with Tourism Industry Association of BC at the Musqueam Cultural Pavilion in Vancouver, BC.
The following day the TIABC Summit 2017 was held at Westin Wall Centre in Richmond, BC.
