Port Credit, ON. November 14, 2013: Adventure Canada is ending their 25th Anniversary year with an enormous bang. The expedition company, dedicated to connecting people with Canada’s north, has won Nunavut Tourism’s prestigious Outstanding Service Award, honouring an unparalleled degree of customer satisfaction, growth and success. “Our priority is always to provide exceptional service to both our passengers and the communities we visit,” said Vice President Cedar Swan. “So winning this award from the region’s defining tourism board really makes us proud.”

Adventure Canada, which also won Nunavut Tourism’s Award of Excellence in 2008, provides exceptional expedition cruises and land-based trips throughout Canada’s far north, as well as Greenland, Newfoundland and other off-the-beaten path destinations. The focus of every expedition is connecting cultures and traditions while enjoying the wildlife and and wild landscapes of these inspiring places.

Adventure Canada’s success and growth is exemplified in its unique partnerships, including the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Canadian Geographic, the Alianait Arts Festival, Nature Conservancy of Canada and The Walrus Foundation, to name a few. “We want to thank our enthusiastic passengers, exceptional team and partners, Nunavut Tourism and the communities we work with for this honour,” continues Swan. “We look forward to celebrating our next anniversary with you!"
