Welcome to Northern Soul by Landsby

We are proud to present the inaugural issue of Northern Soul Magazine.

It is my hope that this magazine, and the incredible stories about Canadians in the hospitality and tourism industry, serves as inspiration to travel responsibly and engage meaningfully with Canada's distinct communities, landscapes, and cultures.

Thank you for joining us,

Cover Story: Journey Into Desolation Sound

The Klahoose First Nation has created a welcoming oasis on British Columbia's mainland coast. The journey to get here is part of this once-in-a-lifetime travel experience.

A View From Here:
Winnipeg

For millennia, the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, where modern day Winnipeg sits, has served as a meeting place for nations. Read the stories from here.

Explore the Klondike

Fly Air North from Whitehorse to Dawson City and learn about the region's rich history with immersive experiences on a 5-day itinerary to the beautiful land of the Yukon.

Editor's Note

Connection is a word we use a lot within our Landsby team.

It is integral to everything we do, from the relationships we build with local suppliers to the itineraries we create with our dedicated staff. As travellers ourselves, we know that the best way to ensure a successful trip is for the traveller to make real connections — with each other, with community hosts and with the destination itself.

We hope you will feel that sense of connection to Canada as you read the stories contained within these pages. We truly believe that travelling with purpose is the only way to go.

Thank you for taking this journey with us.
