We are so happy to share this wonderful post on behalf of NSITEN and all the work we do with many of our meaningful ally partnerships we have been able to build over the years.

These strong relationships help to not only build opportunities for our membership from a business point of view, they are also important in the reconciliation relationships and cultural and educational awareness opportunities that they provide for many sector industry partners.

Congratulations once again to this year's NSITEN Indigenous Tourism Champion of the Year winner Robyn Stewart from the Port of Halifax and the incredible work that her and her team do to ensure our meaningful inclusion in Mi'kmaw Tourism initiatives across our ancestral homelands, specifically in Kjipuktuk (more commonly known as the City of Halifax).
