Terre Boréale is a wilderness tourism company based in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, with a primary focus in unparalleled wilderness backpacking and canoeing adventures. All their journeys are once-in-a-lifetime experiences, taking guests of all ages and fitness levels to the remote mountain ranges and rivers of Northern Canada. Established in 2013 by Miléna Georgeault and Maxime Gouyou-Beauchamps, Terre Boréale is a family-owned and operated business with a deep commitment to creating a positive impact on its guests, workers and community while ensuring minimal disruption to the pristine lands it explores. By maintaining small groups (maximum 6 guests per group accompanied by 2 knowledgeable wilderness guides) and limiting the number of tours per itinerary, Terre Boréale allows each traveller to fully immerse themselves in the untouched wilderness and the land and wildlife to remain undisturbed. As of June 2023, Terre Boréale has achieved certification as a B Corporation, or B Corp.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.
As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
