WINNIPEG EDITOR WINS TOURISM AWARD

Winnipeg editor, publisher and writer Shel Zolkewich is the winner of The
Globe and Mail Travel Media Award, part of the 2005 Tourism Industry
Association of Canada (TIAC) National Awards for Tourism Excellence.

The awards were developed in 2003 by the Tourism Industry Association of
Canada, the national private-sector advocate for Canada's $57.5 billion
tourism industry. The 2005 awards were presented during a gala dinner at the
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Québec City, as part of Canada's Tourism
Leadership Summit.

“Now I fully understand what people mean when they say it was an honour to
be nominated. To win is purely icing on a very wonderful cake,” Zolkewich
said.

Zolkewich brings a personal touch to tourism promotion that inspires novice
outdoor enthusiasts and jaded travellers alike to visit featured
destinations. She is the ringleader of Shel Zolkewich and Associates, a
communications company specializing in dynamic magazine content for a
variety of clients. She also created Manitoba Outdoors, a publication that
promotes outdoor recreation opportunities. Her extensive publication credits
as a freelance writer include travel and lifestyle magazines, major dailies
and trade publications. The power of her message and the effectiveness of
her approach make Zolkewich a valuable media resource to Manitoba's tourism
industry.

“My wish is that everyone gets a chance to see a little bit of this great
province and spectacular country. If you’ve ever flown above the Nelson
River and seen that soaring limestone shoreline, piled a plate high at an
out-of-town fall supper or fought a trophy northern pike, you know what I
mean.”
