I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: I’ve officially earned Platinum status in the Canadian Specialist Program! Now, if you’re wondering what that means, let me explain.
The Canadian Specialist Program is an in-depth training initiative created by Destination Canada to help travel advisors like me become experts in all things Canada. And when I say “all things,” I mean everything from the best whale-watching in the Maritimes to the coziest luxury lodges in the Yukon—and all the hidden gems, iconic landmarks, and maple-syrup-drenched experiences in between.
So, what does “Platinum” mean?
This isn’t just a fancy label—it’s recognition that I’ve completed advanced levels of training across multiple provinces and territories. It also means I’ve demonstrated a deep knowledge of Canadian travel experiences, including:
Accessible and senior-friendly travel options across the country
Unique Indigenous tourism experiences
Epic rail journeys and luxury wilderness lodges
Off-the-beaten-path adventures for solo travelers and small groups
Seasonal highlights (because yes, you can enjoy Canada in the winter—especially if there’s a spa involved)
Why should you care?
Because when you're planning a Canadian getaway—whether it's a Rockies rail tour, a fall foliage road trip through Quebec, or a Northern Lights chase in the Northwest Territories—you want someone who knows. Not someone who’s just Googling “things to do in Canada” and hoping for the best.
As a Platinum Canadian Specialist, I have insider knowledge, local contacts, and the training to build an itinerary that suits your travel style, accessibility needs, and dream experiences—right down to that must-have poutine stop.
Travel Canada like a VIP
Canada isn’t just where I’m based—it’s a place I’m passionate about sharing with travelers. From luxury coastal lodges in British Columbia to iceberg safaris in Newfoundland (yes, those are real), I can help you see the country in a way that’s immersive, comfortable, and unforgettable.
So, whether you’re a fellow Canuck ready to explore your backyard or an international traveler eyeing the land of moose and moose-shaped souvenirs, let’s talk.
Because now that I’ve got this shiny new Platinum status, I’m more ready than ever to make your Canadian travel dreams a reality.
