The Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts (CHCA) at George Brown College announced the selection of its newest Canadian Treasures honouree, Mission Hill Family Estate. Located in the heart of Okanagan Valley, B.C., Mission Hill Family Estate is world renowned for its award-winning wines, dramatic architecture and the seasonal Terrace Restaurant.
Mission Hill Family Estate joins past Canadian Treasure honorees including Norman Hardie Winery, Food Day Canada and Devour! The Food Film Fest. Each organization chosen illustrates unique aspects of the culinary, hospitality and tourism sector and contributes to the industry in a meaningful way.
The Canadian Treasure initiative was launched in 2017 to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of culinary, hospitality and tourism trailblazers across Canada.
“Canadian Treasures celebrates those innovators who make a real difference in terms of building great businesses and delivering culinary, hospitality and tourism experiences that help their regions become prime destinations,” says Lorraine Trotter, dean, CHCA, George Brown College. “The initiative highlights the critical role these organizations play as “best-in-class” leaders, in showcasing the unique qualities of their regions and in advancing local economic and cultural development. Canadian Treasures highlights the many great features of this industry to Canadians and to tourists worldwide.”
