New hotel involving six First Nations, built off-reserve, deemed national model
LITTLE CURRENT––The parking lot is paved and the front-desk staff sports bright smiles and snappy red identifying shirts.
The Manitoulin Hotel and Conference Centre, the project supported by six Manitoulin and area First Nations communities and spearheaded by the Great Spirit Circle Trail, came to life last week when it hosted a major four-day tourism business conference, was the venue for its first wedding reception and provided accommodation to 30 delegates attending a two-day meeting of the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Northeastern Ontario grant review team.
