Skal Hamilton Club, in consultation with Skal Canada has gained approval from Skal International for the club to officially change their name to Skal Hamilton-Niagara.
This will allow leaders of the tourism and hospitality industry in the Niagara region to be globally recognized as members of the association and further enjoy the benefits of Skal Membership.
Skal is represented in all of Canada’s major tourism sectors and although anyone in the Golden Horseshoe region has had the ability to become a Skal Hamilton member, having the important tourism area of Niagara included in the club name firms up Skal’s commitment to the Niagara area.
On September 10th, Skal Hamilton-Niagara hosted a dinner at the Burlington Convention Centre to celebrate this historic event. Several VIP guests were in attendance including Paul Durand, Skal Canada President who presides over the national board representing 17 Skal clubs and over 700 members in Canada. The evening was hosted by Skal Hamilton-Niagara President Frank Vismeg and the members of the Club.
