Great Group, Great Evening, Great Gratitude

corporate retreatWe’re proud and happy members of Legendary Coasts of Eastern Newfoundland, and we have been since we started our Ocean Delight journey. They’re a great organization that works with tourism operators to develop a stronger industry and economy through the region.

And we’ve certainly grown with them on our journey, to the point where we were delighted to host our last board meeting at The Doctor’s House. It was an amazing evening, with the most beautiful sunset of the summer, I swear. It was perfectly timed with a tour I gave of the property, which produced all the requisite oohing and aahing.

We also enjoyed a lovely meal, with some nice live music from Neil Simmonds. And all rounded out by some fantastic chats around a beautiful, roaring fireplace.

It made me grateful for all the support we’ve received from our fellow tourism operators – this truly is a collaborative industry that supports their communities. And grateful for the journalists who joined us as part of a familiarization tour – it was a pleasure to meet them all. And grateful for how far we’ve come in so little time. What an evening!
