EH Canada Founders
Meet the Visionary Owners and Tourism Innovators Behind EH Canada
Learn how two entrepreneurial brothers redefined Canadian adventure travel from coast-to-coast
Colin and Greg Girard, the EH Canada Founders, are the innovative force behind one of Canada’s leading tourism platforms. It all began in 1997 when Colin launched a small tourism website from Vancouver Island, BC. Greg joined in 2003, and together, the brothers were inspired by clients to expand beyond local borders. Rather than stay small, they envisioned bigger possibilities. The duo built a grassroots tourism platform for all of British Columbia, and soon after, committed to a cross-country journey to build Canada’s only coast-to-coast adventure and travel website not funded by government.
Trailblazing Entrepreneurs and Tourism Visionaries
The EH Canada Founders didn’t just dream of change—they created it. Over the years, more than 1200+ small towns, 5000+ parks, trails, and cultural sites were researched and documented. Thousands of photos and videos were captured, leading to the development of award-winning platforms. In fact, a national adventure travel booking and planning website was created—by Canadians, for the world.
Innovating Travel with Experience Community and Adventure Clubs
Moreover, the brothers launched the “Experience Community” training and marketing platform, proving that small towns can compete globally. This initiative was soon crowned “Best in Canada” and “Best in British Columbia.” Recently, their Adventure Seeker Club has taken off, attracting travelers, influencers, and explorers from every corner.
