Halifax Meeting and Convention Champions Recognized
Halifax, Nova Scotia (PRWEB) November 20, 2014 -- Representing a wide range of industries and professions, Ambassadors share a common desire to host a successful event that will bring their colleagues together while showcasing the Halifax region. Their work has resulted in delegates from across Canada and around the world converging in Halifax, thereby stimulating considerable economic and community growth.
“Ambassadors stand behind Halifax as the best location to bring their peers and colleagues for a meeting or event,” said Patricia Lyall, President and CEO, Destination Halifax. “Each Ambassador has their own motivation, but they share the pride and the desire to bring it home to Halifax.”
In addition to the Ambassador honourees, Destination Halifax recognized the enthusiasm, pride and passion of Mayor Mike Savage. In presenting him with the Spirit of Halifax Award, Destination Halifax celebrated Mayor Savage’s significant impact on promoting the region and his enthusiasm to rally its tourism sector.
“I’m grateful to receive The Spirit of Halifax Award,” said Mike Savage, Mayor, Halifax Regional Municipality. “To be recognized alongside the Destination Halifax Ambassadors is a real honour.”
The Ambassador Program is an alliance of individuals and organizations who achieve economic growth for the Halifax region through the promotion of Halifax as a premier meetings and conventions destination. The program has been led by Destination Halifax since 2002.
