CLIENT FEEDBACK// We are always very humbled when we receive positive comments about Canaccom's services.
It is our primary goal to ensure that with every trip, our teams and groups have an exceptional experience.
A trip does not start on the first day of travel, it begins with our clients' first interaction with the Canaccom Team. It continues with the process that we have carefully tailored to ensure that our clients have a seamless, hassle-free experience. And it ends with the impressions they have about all aspects of their trip, right up until their safe return home. Every step is essential to our clients’ overall satisfaction with Canaccom's services.
It feels very rewarding when we hear that we have hit the mark!
Our objective is to ensure that EVERY trip is as smooth as the ice that our hockey teams skate on...

THE CANACCOM STANDARD// Let's talk transportation...
At Canaccom Group Travel we have VERY high standards when it comes to the airlines and coach charter companies we use.
We work very hard to ensure that our airline and coach charter partners maintain our high standards. We expect our airline and coach charter partners to provide our teams and groups alike with consistent, reliable service, excellence in customer service and affordable fares and fees.
Our transportation partners MUST prioritize safety above all else. Every airplane and coach/bus must come equipped with all the safety features essential for the safety of passengers. They must create and maintain a safe environment on board. They must adhere to all safety-related policies required to meet, or exceed industry standards.
Ultimately, our goal is to help our clients coordinate and book transportation that is safe, affordable and efficient.
Let us help you get started! Contact Canaccom today for all your group transportation needs!
SPORTS AND KIDS// I have said it before, and I'll say it again - put your kids in sports and you will change their lives.
I believe one of the most commonly overlooked benefits of encouraging young people to participate in sports is the mentorship that sports offer. Some of the most influential people in a child's life are their teachers, their coaches, their leaders. People, other than their parents, that they can look up to, trust and rely on. People that believe in them, encourage them and help them to be the best versions of themselves.
Put your kids in sports, you won't regret it!
TEAM SPIRIT// Every day thousands of coaches, team managers and parents volunteer their time to make a difference in the lives of young athletes. It is our job to help these dedicated individuals focus on what is important - their teams - by eliminating the time consuming process of organizing team travel.
Let us do the work so that you can enjoy the game!
KIND WORDS// We are always very humbled when we receive positive feedback from our clients.
We strive to provide our clients with the best service and best experience possible, so to hear that we have achieved our goal feels extremely rewarding.
Our clients' repeat business and referrals are our greatest achievement and are sincerely appreciated. If you are happy tell us (and tell your friends), if you are not happy, please tell us.
TRAVEL, BECAUSE YOU CAN// Memories await.
After living through a pandemic, so many of us have a greater appreciation for travel than ever before. I can only speak for myself, but I certainly never imagined that my ability to cross borders, let alone, visit other cities in the same province would ever be taken away. I took my ability to travel for granted.
Travel = adventure.
Travel offers discovery - new food, culture and experiences.
Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind and fills your life with stories to tell.
The sooner you start exploring again, the better!
You don't have to start the process of planning your next great adventure alone. Let Canaccom Group Travel take care of the details. We can help you plan the perfect trip, whether you are planning to travel the world, or your own country, we've got you!
Life starts again now!
LET'S TRAVEL// Now that restrictions are lifting, where do you want to go? What do you want to see?
Let's start travelling the world again!
If you have the travel bug, gather your friends, dream up an adventure and let Canaccom Group Travel take care of the rest.
Whether you want to climb a mountain, find a beach or take a road trip across country, we can help. Hotels, check. Flights, check. Recommendations for awesome restaurants, activities and more, check, check!
GO ADVENTURE! GO EXPLORE! GO SEE THE WORLD!
It's time. Let's start adventuring again.
KIDS IN SPORT// ACTION REQUIRED!
Something needs to change, and fast.
In a recent study produced by the Canadian Women & Sport, in partnership with E-Alliance and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, and thanks to funding from Sport Canada - 1 in 4 Canadian girls (aged 6-18) who participated in sport at least weekly pre-pandemic are not committed to returning to sport once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
This translates to over 350,000 Canadian girls.
Key Findings:
➡️ 1 in 4 Canadian girls (aged 6-18) are not committed to returning to sport post-pandemic
➡️ The top three negative impacts as reported by girls whose sport participation has decreased due to COVID-19 included: mental health, physical health, social connection
➡️ 93% of girls (aged 6-18) who participated in organized sport at least weekly prior to the COVID-19 pandemic decreased their participation during the pandemic
"Girls playing sports is not about winning gold medals. It's about self-esteem, learning to compete and learning how hard you hae to work in order to achieve your goals" - Jackie Joyner Kersee
Parents, talk to your daughters and remind them about all the good things that sports have to offer. Encourage them to play a sport that interests them. Encourage them to join a team. Encourage them to play recreationally if they don't enjoy hard core competition.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, put your kids in sports and it will change their lives.
THE CANACCOM STANDARD// Let's talk hotels...
At Canaccom Group Travel we have VERY high standards when it comes to the hotels we use. We never book our teams or groups into a hotel that we do not know, or trust.
We work very hard to ensure that our hotel partners maintain our high standards. Cleanliness, exceptional customer service, great amenities and room types are just SOME of the things we take into consideration when partnering with a hotel.
We take time to do annual site visits and physically see the hotels we use, we maintain constant communication with our partners because it helps to build strong relationships, and we listen to the feedback that our clients share with us; we do not take your comments lightly.
Our hotels have to check all the boxes:
✔️ Our hotels are the best quality hotels at the best price point
possible. We aren't here to cost you money, we are here to
save you money!
✔️ Ideally situated near the team's venue, or client's preferred
location
✔️ Breakfast included
✔️ Amazing, customer-service oriented staff to help us to
ensure that our clients have an incredible experience
during their stay
✔️ Perks - free equipment storage, complimentary use of
meeting room space, early check in/ late check out when
possible, complimentary room for your coach or team
leader wherever possible
✔️ Flexible cancellation policies
SPORTS AND KIDS// Put your kids in sports and you will change their lives.
Sports offer people, ESPECIALLY young people, so much. Sports not only help to encourage young people to be more physically active, but they also help to teach them valuable skills and life lessons that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Sports also help young people make new friends, have fun, learn to be a team member, learn about fair play, learn to respect authority and rules, improve self-esteem...the list goes on.
And not all sports have to cost a fortune. It's true that some sports are expensive and not every family can afford to put their kids into certain programs. But that doesn't mean that sports are unattainable for families on a budget. Parents can seek out less costly sports such as basketball, swimming, soccer and track. Parents can also invest in used sporting equipment to help with the cost. And of course, teams can lean on Canaccom to help with savings on the travel side of things. It's our job to help save teams and their families time and money!
There are few parents that look back on their children's lives and think "sports were a waste of time".
Put your kids in sports, you won't regret it!
GET BACK IN THE GAME// You're ready to play, we're ready to serve!
We are only one week into July and teams and groups alike are already eager to get started with their travels! We have baseball teams going to Edmonton and Kelowna, soccer teams going to Vancouver and a group of friends going to Banff for a fun weekend away. It's exciting and encouraging to see people willing and able to travel again.
We want to thank our clients, new and old, for trusting in Canaccom to attend to your travel needs. After a long 15 month pause, we couldn't be happier to be back in the game with you!
When you are ready to hit the road with your team or group, give us a ring! We can't wait to hear from you!

RETURN TO PLAY// The past 15 months of pandemic lockdown has been tough on everyone, there is no question. But I think that it has been especially difficult for kids and youth in particular who spent a significant portion of that time removed from social environments, and activities, including, sports.
Consider this...
In nearly a year and a half:
👉 there was an entire generation of kids who were not introduced to sports for the first time,
👉another generation of kids had just started to get the hang of it when it was taken away,
👉a third generation of youth that were fully immersed in the world of their sport and their team that all of a sudden couldn't practice, compete or be with their teammates or coaches,
👉and finally, a fourth generation of young adults that would have had at least two, maybe even three more seasons of playing their sport before aging out of it, when that chapter of their life suddenly shut prematurely.
As sad as it is, we need to use this experience as an opportunity to promote kids sports now more than ever!
We are so fortunate to live in a country where most kids have the opportunity to play sports. Physically active kids have longer life expectancies, better mental and physical health and better academic performance. And sports help to boost self-confidence and body self-esteem.
We hope to see more teams travelling in the upcoming seasons than ever before, and we can't wait to be a part of something this important! Let's get those kids back out on the soccer pitch, the ice, the dance floor, the track, the gym mat, the volleyball court, the basketball court, into the pool!
As always, our services are free and always come with a smile! We look forward to helping teams travel safelyagain! .
UPDATE// We have been waiting and waiting for this day to arrive and it's FINALLY HERE. We're back! Sports are back! Travel...back! We couldn't be happier and we are ready for take off!
We truly didn't know what sports or group travel would look like as the world works to resume some kind of normalcy.
It was going to go one of two ways - slow as teams and groups alike continue to try and navigate things such as the ever-changing restrictions, their comfort level in a group environment etc. In which case, maybe we would have a couple teams travelling in the fall...but Canaccom wouldn't truly resume until maybe spring 2022??
Or, START THE CAR, book ALL the tournaments, let's GO!!! And we'd hit the ground running.
We are somewhere in the middle. We are starting to see our teams travelling again, enthusiastically! But of course, going into July, which is typically a bit slower in terms of team travel, fall planning for the new seasons will really tell us what we have to look forward to as we start to book hockey, ringette, indoor soccer, volleyball, gymnastic, dance, swim, ski, and so on. ⚽🏀🏐🥅🏸🏊♀️
