Hospitality Financial Leadership – Disco Dick Hatfield
My hometown is St Andrews, New Brunswick in eastern Canada. The town overlooks Passamaquoddy Bay and to the south we are flanked by the great state of Maine. Every year in this part of the world the US governors and the Canadian provincial premiers get together for bilateral talks, some good food, and fun. This story is about one of those meetings, The Algonquin Hotel, and how I met our then Premier, Richard Hatfield who is partially responsible for my hotel career.

In Vino Veritas LXXXII: Tasting and Cycling through Canada’s Prince Edward County
International travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have forced all of us to rethink our vacation prospects, and for me this has meant researching areas within driving range of my hometown of Toronto instead of jet setting off to Europe, Asia or more 'prestigious' parts of North America.

When it Comes to Hotel Sales in Unconventional Times - One Size Definitely Does Not Fit All

There are wrong turns, short-cuts, some obstacles but, ultimately, we trust that we will find our way. We create our own roadmaps.There was, however, no roadmap for the unprecedented year that was 2020. We didn't just hit an obstacle — we came to face a roadblock that no one saw coming. Suddenly, we were navigating truly uncharted territory in real-time, and, for the hospitality industry, this served up a steady barrage of unforeseen challenges.
