CEO Message

School is back in and Fall is upon us and for most of you that means a little down time and hopefully some time to check your gear and plan for next year. In the office we have been busy with annual reports, budgets and planning for the annual general meeting scheduled for October.
Nominations are open for the vacant board of directors positions and I hope you plan to vote! An active association can only benefit each of our members and the tourism industry as a whole.
