Ambassador Workshops
In conjunction with Tourism Awareness Week, June 6th to 12th, 2010, Tourism Swift Current, together with Southwest Tourism and the Saskatchewan Tourism Education Council will be holding a week of Ambassador Workshops.
The workshops are two hours in length and will be offered each day of the week to accommodate various work schedules. All classes are held at the Swift Current Museum and Visitor Centre.
Registration is open to all businesses and organizations who wish to participate. As an employee’s time is considered to be an investment in the program, there will be no charge or fee for attending any of the classes.
The Ambassador Workshops were introduced as a pilot project in 2006, and are now offered as an annual program. The 2010 Ambassador Workshop schedule and registration form is available below.
