It was a proud night for Saskatchewan at the Canadian Tourism Awards, with multiple businesses earning national recognition for excellence. This marked a record-breaking year with nine finalists announced from the province in October. That trend continued as four Saskatchewan businesses won top honours at the annual event held on November 20, setting a new record for the province.
This year’s winners include:
- Dakota Dunes Resort (Whitecap Dakota Nation), Tourism Employer of the Year Award;
- Wanuskewin Heritage Park (Saskatoon), Indigenous Tourism Award;
- Ag in Motion (Langham), Business Event of the Year Award; and
- Field to Shield, co-created by Adventure Destinations and Chef Jenni Lessard (Saskatoon), Culinary Tourism Experience Award.
“Saskatchewan has a proud tradition of bringing home Canadian Tourism Awards,” Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Alana Ross said. “This year’s winners are most deserving and represent the vision, leadership and commitment that make our province’s tourism industry strong and vibrant. The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to congratulate the recipients on receiving this national recognition.”
“Tourism Saskatchewan is exceedingly proud of these impressive representatives of our industry,” Tourism Saskatchewan CEO Jonathan Potts said. “Our sincere congratulations and gratitude are extended to Saskatchewan’s 2025 Canadian Tourism Award finalists and winners.”
The Canadian Tourism Awards are presented annually by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) to recognize success, leadership and innovation in Canada’s tourism industry, and to reward those people, places, organizations and events that have gone above and beyond to offer travellers superior tourism experiences in Canada.
The awards gala is a highlight of The Tourism Congress, TIAC’s annual industry conference. For a complete list of the 2025 Canadian Tourism Award winners, visit: tiac-aitc.ca.
