Turtle Island Tourism Company is a multiple award- winning Aboriginal cultural tourism company located in Ottawa. Over the past ten years, TITC have built a solid reputation for creating professional events that reflect, and more importantly respect, the diverse Aboriginal cultures of our community. Although there are other Aboriginal event planners we stand apart with the most extensive experience in sharing our culture with dignity and pride with large public and corporate audiences.
TITC have coordinated numerous Aboriginal cultural celebrations and events since 1998 reaching millions of public with custom First People programs at Canadian Tulip Festival and Winterlude. Our innovative programming at these two signature events helped to establish us as leaders in the industry and contributed to our greatest achievement - “Aboriginal Experiences” which now receives over 14,000 Canadian and International visitors annually. We also coordinate the successful three day Summer Solstice Aboriginal Arts Festival, where the best Aboriginal talent from across Canada perform for both school and public audiences of over 20,000 during National Aboriginal Day.
In addition to coordination of Aboriginal programming for local and national festivals, we have extensive experience in creating memorable experiences for corporate clients as part of conferences, events and employee retreats. Our expertise ranges from coordinating all aspects of programming, logistics and catering for an employee barbeque for 4,000 to providing entertainment for your next event. Aboriginal entertainment has wide appeal for both Canadian and international audiences, adding a unique dimension to your next event.
The benefits of working with our company are:
