    Premier Andrew Furey has issued a statement concerning the passing of Roger Jamieson, who was the owner and operator of Kilmory Resort in Swift Current, winning numerous awards, including Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador’s 2022 Accommodation of the Year most recently. Furney says “Not only was Roger a tourism operator, he was also a passionate advocate for the province’s tourism industry. Over the course of his life, he was a longtime board member and chair of Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador, chair of the Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism Board and served on the boards of both the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and Destination Canada (formerly the Canadian Tourism Commission). There is no doubt that his decades of commitment to the industry have helped put Newfoundland and Labrador on the map as a premiere travel destination.”
