Understanding Place, Creating Possibility – Grande Cache Tourism

Understanding Place, Creating Possibility – A Grande Cache Tourism Workshop

You’re invited to join tourism leaders and partners to experience what makes Grande Cache unforgettable — and explore what’s possible.

We’ll walk where rivers meet, hear stories from an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper, paddle a canyon no road can reach, and gather by the fire.

Grande Cache was named in the Northern Rockies Report as a place with real potential to help Alberta reach $25B in tourism by 2035.
This workshop is a step toward that future.

Info: Depart from the Grande Cache Hotel and travel to the dramatic Sulphur Gates, where the Smoky and Sulphur Rivers meet. A local Indigenous Knowledge Keeper will guide you through this powerful landscape and share the deep-rooted history and presence of the Rocky Mountain Cree in the region.

Info: Gather at the Grande Cache Hotel’s forested grounds for a fireside steak dinner. Enjoy good food, local hospitality, and mountain air in a relaxed, rustic setting.

Info: Experience the living culture of the Rocky Mountain Cree as local Indigenous artists perform traditional jingle dress dances in handmade regalia — a powerful expression of resilience, rhythm, and identity.

Info: Unwind and reflect together. Around the fire or in the pub, share thoughts on the day, insights from the land, and bold ideas for growing tourism in Grande Cache — grounded in what makes this place different.

Info: Start the day with hot coffee, a hearty breakfast, and a chance to reconnect before the next adventure begins.

Info: Discover the magic of an ancient, untouched river with Wild Blue Yonder Rafting. This is more than rafting — it’s a story you step into, and one you'll keep telling.

Info: Tee off at 4,200 feet at the Grande Cache Golf & Country Club, a quiet alpine course with wide views stretching toward Willmore Wilderness Park.

Info: Close the workshop with lunch at the Grande Cache Tourism Centre, reflecting on key insights and outlining next steps to carry the work forward.
