Sharon Kennedy has joined the Eagle View Events Centre and Sir Sam’s Ski/Ride team as the director of events and sales.
Kennedy’s focus will be the sale and management of weddings and events, as well as connecting with the community and beyond, building further awareness of the centre, the business said.
It added, “with an extensive background, and an expansive career dedicated to the tourism and hospitality industry, Sharon brings a unique lens to this role via her specialty in rural tourism development.
“With Sharon’s strength and experience in conference, wedding, festival organization and more, we feel this addition to the team puts us in good stead for the future,” Doug Wilkinson, owner of Sir Sam’s/Eagle View said.
He added, “Sharon’s enthusiasm and community connections will be an asset to us as we continue to offer more and more experiences to our guests.”
Kennedy said she is looking forward to working with the “amazing team here and I know that we’ll be able to create some really exciting events and experiences for the community.
“Being a resident of Eagle Lake makes this even better, as I understand the particular needs of our local area but can couple those with my expertise from a larger regional tourism and event perspective.”
Kennedy has worked with Westin Hotels, Parkwood Estate, Municipality of York Region, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and held senior roles with two of Ontario’s regional tourism organizations (RTO 6 & 7).
