Welcome to our annual Travel Agent Appreciation combined special issue of Travel Courier and Canadian Travel Press. Since 2016, we’ve been highlighting some of the remarkable travel advisors across the industry in Canada for this feature edition.

Once again, we received an impressive amount of high calibre nominations to consider for this issue. Notably, many advisors went above and beyond to advocate for the industry and their peers during the course of the pandemic.

Today, we’re pleased to present the 2022 finalists:

• Jennifer McPherson, Turnkey Travel
• Shannon Graves, Charrisma Travel
• Mary LaRocque, Marlin Travel
• Jamie Milton, Uniglobe Carefree
• Shalene Dudley, Latitude Concierge Travels
• Lesley Keyter, The Travel Lady
• Martin Charlton, Adventures Abroad
• Sue Flemming, Janes Worldwide Travel
• Colette Brown, Maison de Voyages – House of Travel
• Barry Davis, Transat Travel
• Pat Probert & Mary de Almeida, Bob Family Travel 
• Neelam Dwivedi, Maritime Travel 
• Mike Sanderson, Up Up And Away Travel, Independent by Flight Centre

Congratulations to all! 

Last year we launched The Travel Agent and Beyond Award, honouring one of the finalists with some extra recognition at a virtual Travel Agent Appreciation event. Mark your calendars for May 17-19 to take part this year. There will be trade shows, guest speakers, an awards presentation and tons of prizes. Register now.
