Note from Robin: A short drive from the hotel, Onhwa’ Lumina is a collaboration between Quebec’s acclaimed multimedia Motion Factory and the Wendake Tourism Office. Operating 200 days a year, $6 million dollars was invested in an immersive visitor experience to bring the history, legends, sounds, story and values of the Huron-Wendat to life.
