Hello, my name is Tania Carriere I am a Metis woman originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba but have called BC my home for the past 24 years.

By day I make my living working in the airline industry, which has been very challenging in the last year and half with the Covid-19 Pandemic.

I presently have 24 years of service within the industry and am looking forward to hitting the 25-year mark and perhaps switching gears and doing something I am passionate about. Yes, I started working at the ripe age of 5 (LOL)! With my job, I have had the privilege to travel around the world learning about other people and their cultures and am deeply inspired by the beauty of Mother Earth. One of my favourite quotes is, “Not all those who wander are lost”.

Outside of my work world, I am an avid photographer and nature lover, taking every chance I can get to be outside and enjoy beautiful BC. My outdoor adventurous nature has taken me on many paths both by foot backpacking and hiking to on the water. I have recently Kayaked Boughton Archipelago, Desolation Sound, as well throughout Vancouver, Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island coastal waters along with the many local surrounding lakes. As I write this, I am in the final preparatory stages for the start of my next adventure Hiking Nootka Island. My love for the outdoors started as a child with weekend getaways to the country to be with my many cousins and attending Navy League and then Sea cadets which took me to summer camp in Quadra, back then I knew there was something in the water that would bring me back here and call BC home.
