TMAC Alberta Chapter’s Susan Mate loves cycling in the mountains.
Kudos are in order for TMAC Alberta chapter co-chair Susan Mate, who has been cited for tourism excellence by the 2011 Alberta Tourism Awards (Altos). Susan is one of three finalists in the category of Tourism Media (Sponsored by Calgary Hotel Association). She was also an ALTO finalist in 2004, and took home the trophy in 2005. Susan’s feature article “Cycle the Icefields Parkway” was published on the front page of the Calgary Herald’s Travel Section August 31, 2011. http://www.calgaryherald.com/travel/Cycle+Icefields+Parkway/5331778/story.html "It was a thrill for me to relive that Icefields journey - the tribulations, trials, scenery and camaraderie - by writing this story," says Mate. "And the ALTO nomination is the icing on the cake." Other nominees in the category include: Mike Fisher – “Into the Wild”, Up! Magazine, Calgary Paul Matwychuk and Ian Jackson – “The Play’s the Thing”, Canadian Geographic Magazine, Edmonton -30-
