Press Room - Profile: Gail Bremner, Vice-President

Gail Bremner has been a prominent figure in Saint John’s tourism industry for over 15 years. She joined the Aquila team in 1996, following years of hotel group sales and servicing. Her role at Aquila quickly evolved from servicing inbound motorcoach groups and managing the Atlantic Coast Alliance partnership. Over the years, as a direct result of Gail’s efforts, Aquila has continually secured new clients and contracts that have taken Aquila to new heights.

Today, Gail is taking on a much larger leadership role within Aquila, including Aquila’s human resources, all of Aquila’s partnerships, tourism consulting, and much more. A key individual in Beth Kelly Hatt’s succession plan, Gail spends a significant amount of time learning from and being challenged by her mentor.

Like her mentor, Gail is actively involved in the tourism industry and local business community. She has served as President of Team Canada, as well as President of Hospitality Saint John. She has been a speaker and panelist at the National Tour Association Annual Convention and for New Brunswick Tourism and Parks, as well as on a variety of other occasions.

Gail has also volunteered in key roles with a variety of community organizations and events, including Marathon by the Sea, the East Coast Music Awards, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, ALS Society, and Multiple Sclerosis Society, to name just a few. In fact, Gail’s outstanding commitment to the tourism industry and community was recognized when she was honoured with the Volunteer of the Year Award from Hospitality Saint John (2003).
