TOURISM SASKATCHEWAN APPOINTS NEW CEO

Released on November 9, 2012

Former Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco has been named Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Saskatchewan, effective November 13, 2012.

Fiacco retired recently from civic politics after 12 years in office. During his time as mayor, he worked actively with all levels of government, community stakeholders and industry to promote both the city and the province on the national and international stage.

Fiacco brings a broad base of knowledge and experience to his new position, along with a keen understanding of the importance of building partnerships.

"Tourism is a $1.7 billion industry in Saskatchewan and will continue to be a major factor in the province's economic success," Minister responsible for Tourism Tim McMillan said. "I am confident that Mr. Fiacco is the right person to help move this industry forward."

"Over the course of my career I strived to make a positive impact on this province," Fiacco said. "Saskatchewan is fast becoming a destination of choice for tourists and world class events and I look forward to continuing that work by building on our provincial image."

Tourism Saskatchewan's board of directors conducted an extensive search for a new CEO. With the process now complete, the organization is well positioned to help Saskatchewan grow.

"This is a very exciting time for tourism in the province," Tourism Saskatchewan Board Chair Jack Brodsky said. "We wanted to ensure that the unprecedented growth this industry has seen continues. Our board is looking forward to working with Mr. Fiacco on maintaining the industry's momentum."
