About Us

We wish to welcome you to Youlten/Carlson Wagonlit Travel.

We wish to welcome you to Youlten/Carlson Wagonlit Travel. An agency founded in 1927 by Percy Youlten who was perhaps best remembered for his support and service to many people of varying origins who immigrated to Canada and in particular in the city of Timmins during the thirties.

The present owners, Ruth & Wally Wiwchar and Don Reid and the late Florence Reid acquired the company in 1978. The agency is 100% locally owned and has been affiliated since 1996 with a highly reputable consortium “Carlson Wagonlit Travel”.

Being locally owned and operated, we are keenly interested and supportive towards a variety of charitable and non-profit organizations within our local community. We are proud members of the Downtown Timmins BIA.

We thank all our past, present and future clients who have contributed to the success of our travel agency. We are committed to customer satisfaction and will do our utmost to ensure consistent, accurate and reliable service. Your business is greatly appreciated and we look forward to many more years of success serving the people of Northern Ontario and around the world.
