The Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence Gala has become a yearly showcase of achievement, bringing together representatives from every corner of the province and from a diverse range of businesses and attractions to celebrate the accomplishments of their colleagues in the industry. Originally scheduled to take place on April 2 in Regina, the 31st annual event was cancelled, along with the HOST Saskatchewan Conference, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the cancellation of both industry gatherings, the announcement of the 12 Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence recipients and three Tourism Builders was postponed. Through the use of technology and adoption of a new virtual format, members of Saskatchewan’s tourism industry are now able to gather from afar to honour those outstanding businesses and people who have gone above and beyond to deliver superior service and experiences. Join the celebration as the Saskatchewan Tourism Awards of Excellence shine a spotlight on the commitment and hard work of veteran operators, as well as the innovative spirit of young entrepreneurs, and broaden understanding of efforts that yield success and, ultimately, position Saskatchewan as a more inviting and competitive destination.

  • Charting a Path to Economic Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
    April 2019 Charting a Path to Economic Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples This commentary is based on a speech given by Blaine Favel to the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s Annual Dinner on February 20, 2019. Blaine Favel To the elder who said tonight’s invocation, thank you. I also acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Nation and I pay their people homage and respect. I would like to thank the organizers for the invitation to speak tonight. The purpose of my speech is two- fold – on how colonialist policies forced poverty upon my people, and to declare the path to economic reconciliation begins by recognizing our ancient relationship and stewardship over the land. There may be many paths to reconciliation but at its bare bones, to me, “reconciliation means that Indigenous people should not be the poorest people in lands that belong to us.” I am from the Poundmaker Cree Nation and was raised on the reserve with my father and grandfather, both chiefs until they passed – with my grandfather being our nation’s last “life-time” chief. My great-grandfather Basile was Chief Poundmaker Headman at the signing of treaty and fought in the Battle of Cut Knife in 1885. Following the successful defence of our nation against the Canadian militia, our chief was imprisoned, as was my grandfather and we were deprived of a chief until 1919, and were administered by the war office. The author of this document has worked independently and is solely responsible for the views presented here. The opinions are not necessarily those of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, its Directors or Supporters.
