Mikisew Camps
There is no doubt that their camps WERE beautiful and well set up. Tim got a fair bit of lottery type funding to install solar systems in a lot of those camps. But once Tim left, there was a lot of dissension and a lot of the little things that make a big difference were not attended to. I am certain that you noticed a difference between the last 2 yrs that you went with Mikisew. I know we sure did.
I am betting that Dan @ Andrew Lake Lodge and other lodges got a lot of former Mikisew guests and some probably went to Sask. Our group went with Dan and thoroughly enjoyed our trip even though the camp was not quite as nice as Mikisew's. The fishing and cold beer made up for the differences.
At the risk of saying some politically incorrect things I wonder how many native run enterprises you have been around. I have seen a fair number in both Ontario and here in Ab both as a client and as a banker to them and the developments with Mikisew did not really surprise me.
