In this episode, she reflects on her role in shaping a tourism economy that works for Cochrane and preserves its natural surroundings. She describes the distinct advantages the town has as an emerging destination and what it takes to put the community first in tourism planning. Hint: It all begins with taking a moment to pause and listen.
