The 9th annual Alto awards were presented on Monday October 26th, 2009 at the Canwest Alto Awards Gala in conjunction with the 9th annual Travel Alberta Industry Conference held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, in Banff Alberta.  Our past president David Morrison was awarded the 2009 Alto Ambassador award, presented by the Honourable Cindy Ady Minister of Tourism, Parks, and Recreation, in the presence of family, friends, and industry colleagues.   

The Alto Ambassador award recognizes an exceptional Albertan who has made an outstanding contribution to the provincial tourism industry.  This individual is a role model who has consistently demonstrated leadership throughout their career.  We wanted to say "Way to go David, we are all extremely proud of you!"
