Whitewater Ontario Selected for Provincial Tourism AwardFor Immediate Release Whitewater Ontario Selected for Provincial Tourism Award
Whitewater Ontario has been selected by the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario as one of the top three finalists for the 2009 Industry Excellence Awards for Tourism Innovator of the Year for the first annual Whitewater Summer Race Series held in July with events held at the Gull, Madawaska and Ottawa rivers. We have been informed that the selection committee was challenged with the high level of leadership, innovation and creativity that was demonstrated in the 2009 nominations.
Whitewater Ontario President, Jim Tayler and Vice-President, Claudia van Wijk have been invited to attend the 2009 Ontario Tourism Summit’s Private Nominees Reception and Gala Awards Dinner to be held on Wednesday, September 30 at Caesars, Windsor, Ontario. The intent of this function is to showcase the top three finalists with a special digital presentation of their product to the province and the announcement of the winner of the Tourism Innovator of the Year Award will be presented.
With news of this announcement: Jim Tayler comments: “Wow! This is certainly exciting news and the kind of recognition that many organizations would love to have. I will make every effort to attend the gala. It actually makes me think back to one of the activities we did with Forward Strokes as part of our vision for the future - creating those imaginary headlines - no imagination needed here!”
The board of Whitewater Ontario is very honoured with this achievement and the recognition received from the tourism industry.
