After four years at the helm of Tourism Prince George (TPG), CEO Colin Carson is taking his talents elsewhere.
Colin will be pursuing new career opportunities and departing the role on August 1st.
“It’s been an honour and a privilege to work for Tourism Prince George for the past
8 years,” says Carson.
“I’ve grown an immeasurable amount, both personally and professionally, during my time. I am extremely grateful of the support and guidance of the current and past TPG Board and staff. It’s been an incredible adventure. While I’m saddened to depart TPG, I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve accomplished.”
Carson joined the Tourism Prince George team in 2017 and has been the CEO since July 2021.
During his tenure he led the recent Visitor Centre move, the construction of Nanguz’An Market, and the pandemic recovery, which saw TPG’s revenue grow
to its highest point.
“Colin joined Tourism Prince George prior to the pandemic and has steered the organization and staff through some very challenging times with professionalism,
compassion and strength,” said Jamie Valcourt, Chair of Tourism Prince George.
“He has led the organization with energy, creativity and processes that have positioned Tourism Prince George well for the future.”
The board has appointed Carmen Herman as interim CEO to lead the organization
during the recruitment process.
