The Nomination Process

What makes an inductee

Induction is not a popularity contest. Every nomination is reviewed against the essence of what makes a hospitality life worth honouring - the people served, the careers built, the standards set, and the mark left on Alberta.

01

Impact on People

The teams mentored, the careers launched, and the culture created behind the scenes - not just what guests see.

02

Craft and Standards

A relentless commitment to quality, consistency, and the everyday discipline that defines great hospitality.

03

Contribution to Alberta

Support for local growers, producers, communities, and the wider industry that makes Alberta hospitality distinct.

04

Longevity and Legacy

A body of work that has stood the test of time and will still be felt long after the applause fades.

Nominations are coming soon.
