De par chez nous

Marième goes off the beaten track to meet those for whom tourism is inextricably linked to nature, respect and harmony, whether at Whitehorse in the Yukon or at Sutton in Montérégie.

A look at Éducalme in Winnipeg, a school for yoga and meditation, practices that are becoming increasingly popular amongst students. In Sainte-Adèle, they're going all out to give the greatest number open access to osteopathy.

Marième invites us to discover two small municipalities in the heart of the countryside, Curran in Ontario and Wakefield in Quebec. We meet some serious enthusiasts who are never afraid to innovate and to support local produce.

In Revelstoke, British Columbia, and in Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson, Marième meets two young businesswomen putting all their energy into developing their company with an emphasis on buying local, to the greater delight of their community.

Heading for Kelowna to discover a family working a lavender farm. Then, to Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, in the Laurentians, where Marième discovers a day nursery that fosters life in the open air and environmental awareness.

Marième heads towards Yellowknife and Shawinigan to meet Diane Boudreau who, drawing her inspiration from the natural environment around her, adds a touch of colour to the lives of the local people.
