Trainer Testimonials

Pam Hamel

“As a trainer, my cohort particularly learned how to turn a passion and idea into tangible exchanges and meaningful relationships with others. The 101 experiences organization itself was a facilitator of technical skills. Every participant commented about the quality of the learning formats which in turn enabled them to feel connected and knowledgeable with technology.”

Sabrina Somersall

“The support from the 101 Experiences program has helped the participants become comfortable developing their passion projects into businesses, allowing them to realize they have an audience who is interested in their passion, and knowledge. The benefits of the 101 Experiences program is that it’s given participants the ability to share their passion, and spotlight their communities.”

The networking and support from participants has also been key – you are surrounded by passionate people who want to see you succeed. When you join the 101 experiences team you will be well supported in sharing your passion with your community.”

Programme de formation

101 Experiences est un projet à but non lucratif, financé par des subventions, qui offre aux habitants passionnés de la région une formation, des compétences et de la confiance pour qu’ils puissent transformer leurs passions en petites entreprises, faisant ainsi de ces habitants des micro-entrepreneurs.

Les expériences 101 visent à créer des liens au sein de nos communautés. Toutes les expériences créées dans le cadre du programme de formation 101 Experiences sont des expériences guidées (animées par une personne qualifiée) qui permettent aux invités d’apprendre de l’hôte.

Afin de contribuer à la création de communautés plus inclusives, 101 Experiences s’efforce d’aider les habitants de tous horizons à créer des expériences. Nous travaillons avec des francophones, des nouveaux arrivants, des immigrants et des personnes LGBTQ2S+ pour les aider à mettre en valeur leurs passions et leur culture dans un cadre du Nord de l’Ontario.

101 Experiences reconnaît également que le territoire sur lequel nous menons cette initiative est un territoire de traité et le foyer de nombreux peuples des Premières nations. 101 Experiences a travaillé et continue de travailler à la création d’un programme qui incarne les enseignements des Premières nations de la région et de l’île de la Tortue, s’efforce d’éduquer tous les participants au programme sur les Premières nations de la région afin de s’assurer qu’ils enseignent à leur tour à leurs invités les Premières nations de la région, et nous continuons de décoloniser notre formation et d’offrir une formation aux membres des Premières nations qui souhaitent enseigner aux gens leur culture d’une manière bien intentionnée, transformatrice et éducative. Tous nos efforts sont guidés par notre conseil consultatif autochtone, composé de membres des Premières nations de la région du nord-est de l’Ontario et des voies navigables.

Le programme de formation est un programme en ligne de 5 semaines, qui se déroule pendant une heure et demie chaque semaine, avec un peu plus de temps consacré au matériel écrit, où l’un des formateurs de 101 Experiences guidera les participants dans la création de leur expérience, de la conception de l’expérience à la création de la liste des expériences. La formation peut se faire en tête-à-tête avec un formateur, ou en groupe avec d’autres participants (recommandé). L’une des parties les plus bénéfiques de la formation de 5 semaines est la Foire de la Passion : une foire de présentation où les participants présentent leur expérience à des groupes de touristes potentiels, de partenaires municipaux et de dirigeants communautaires et reçoivent des commentaires et des questions pour les aider à améliorer leur expérience et leur donner confiance pour en parler.

Host Testimonials

Lynne Cormier

“As an Indigenous youth, I feel empowered to be part of a project that is so inclusive.

To witness the real effort that is being put in to not only include Indigenous people but to really feel heard is such a huge step for all our northern communities. This project is supporting individuals in sharing their passions by developing experiences to share and learn from one another”

– Lynne Cormier

Shanan King

“101 Experiences training helped me to see my value as a contributing expert in what I am passionate about. The training helped me to get my idea out of my head and into the world for others to enjoy. The small group format allowed time for everyone to be heard and encouraged as well as be able to offer constructive criticism and suggestions to the other participants. The Passion Fair was a very big bonus that helped me to overcome my intense anxiety about speaking to strangers about my Experience as well as helping me to see that there is much interest with the public in what I have to offer. I highly recommend 101 Experiences to help you bring your idea to fruition. You will have fun preparing to do what you are passionate about while making new friends and community connections.”

– Shanan King

“Being new to the Temiskaming Shores area, I can’t express enough how wonderful being part of the 101 Experiences has been. i have connected to some amazing people through developing both my online + in-person experiences and as a result, have opened up a permanent business! The training program, all the leader + support team made creating fun + memorable experiences so much fun. I never imagined this program to be so rewarding in so many ways. I am so happy I took a leap of faith, trusted my gut and went for it. It’s brought so much to my life, both personally and professionally. I feel so much more integrated into my new community and value the passion + expertise that exists in North Eastern Ontario so much. There is so much to offer here and the 101 Experiences is showing the world that NE Ontario has more than just hunting + fishing + snowmobiling! Thank you to all who supported + participated in this awesome project.”

Jo-Anne Burton

“101 Experiences was fantastic for our business specially during covid lockdowns. The whole team at 101 experiences helped us out with doing virtual tours when we couldn’t in person tours. This kept our business going when we had absolutely no other income. The team was always ready to help out and gave us the confidence and the contacts to get these virtual tours done. Thank you so much for all of your help.”

– Jo-Anne Burton

Chelsea Smith

“As someone who grew up in Northern Ontario, I didn’t realize how lucky I was until I went away to school in the city. I began to feel nostalgic towards the North and wanted to share the magic I felt when being back home. 101 Experiences gave me a wonderful opportunity to do just that as well as connect with so many beautiful human beings and learn their passions. This project has allowed me to work with people who are passionate about inclusivity, creating involved communities and sharing knowledge. I could not be more proud (and humbled at the same time) to be a part of something that will bring such positive change into our communities for those who are local, those visiting and those who are new to the area!”

Host & member of Indigenous Advisory Council
