Heather Craig-Peddie, Vice President of Advocacy and Member Relations at the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) will be retiring on 16JUL 2021. This will mark the end of her career advocating on behalf of Canadian travel agencies and travel agents, one that lasted for over 22 years.
“The past 15 months have been particularly challenging for travel agencies and travel agents, and Heather has worked tirelessly with government officials on securing the highest amount of aid possible for our members and advocating for the safe reopening Canadian borders and easing of travel restrictions,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA president.
Craig-Peddie is also a member of the WTAAA (World Travel Agency Alliance Association) Global Air Matters Committee, representing Canadian travel agent interests at Global IATA Committee meetings. She will continue to be available to members until 16JUL 2021.

ACTA’s aggressive advocacy efforts will continue under the leadership of President Wendy Paradis, supported by Manon Martel, Karen Cullen, and a new team member: Avery Campbell.
