Indigenous Tourism BC’s Brenda Baptiste awarded Order of British Columbia

Brenda Baptiste, chair of Indigenous Tourism British Columbia, has been awarded the Order of British Columbia for her dedication and commitment to the growth of Indigenous tourism in BC.

The highest form of recognition the Province can extend to its citizens, the award recognizes those who have served with the greatest distinction and excelled in any field benefiting the people of B.C. and beyond.

Indigenous cultural tourism provides key economic opportunities for BC’s Indigenous communities and is an important path to reconciliation through the sharing and celebrating of authentic Indigenous cultures and experiences, Indigenous Tourism BC noted in announcing the recognition.

“This is the culmination of the vision and hard work of the ITBC Board, staff and partners, and I am humbled and honoured to receive this recognition on everyone’s behalf,” Baptiste said. “I am so grateful for the incredible visionaries I have had the privilege of working with over the years; and celebrate the legacy that we have all created for generations of Indigenous people and the tourism industry as a whole in British Columbia.”
