Halifax honors more Ambassadors

Congratulations to Professor Raymond Klein of Dalhousie University and Kathryn Burlton of the Halifax Region School Board on becoming Destination Halifax’s latest Ambassador Award honorees. 

Professor Raymond Klein hosted approximately 300 members of the Canadian Society for Brain Behavior and Cognitive Science for 4 days at Dalhousie University. Turn out for the conference was more than expected.  This speaks both to Professor Klein’s drive and skill at hosting a conference as well as Halifax’s well known reputation as a premier conference destination and great hospitality.

Kathryn Burlton invited the Financial Institute of Canada to host its 2010 conference in Halifax.  The offer was accepted and 300 members of the Institute met at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront last week.

The Halifax Ambassador Award Program is an alliance of individuals who have a great pride in Halifax and who work hard promoting it to their friends and colleagues whether they are from across the country or from around the world.  There efforts are helping to make Halifax one of the premier conference destinations in Canada. 

Members of the Ambassador Program, because of their pride in Halifax and Nova Scotia, have invited conferences such as the Canadian Respiratory Conference to our great city.  They have used their skills of ingenuity, planning, promotion, as well as given much of their personal time to ensure the conference was hosted here and to ensure an enjoyable experience for all while visiting with us.  In other words they are champions; these individuals who initiate the ideas and then work with a group to make it all happen.
