Hi team,

As a bronze sponsor of the 2011 Goodlife Victoria Marathon this year, Parkside gets two complimentary race entries!

If you're interested in running or walking either the 8km, half marathon or marathon distance, send me an email and I'll put your name in a hat for a random draw.

Tim Wallberg's last day is this Saturday, and the Maintenance team at Parkside would like to extend the invite to everyone to join us for a pint at Swan's Brewpub this Thursday, August 4th at 4:30pm. Thank you Tim for all your hard work in the Maintenance Department at Parkside. 

- Terry Pearson, Maintenance Manager at Parkside

I have been on the road for quite a long time and thought I would share a post.

I arrived at the BC Ferry terminal at Tsawwassen, and as I was pulling up to the gate to pay, a woman with bright blue eyes greeted me and quickly looked down at the Parkside logo on the door of the truck.

She smiled and said "I have stayed there and it was lovely!"

I want to thank Sara Kinzie for all her dedication and hard work over the last two years - her help with the set-up and operations during the opening of Parkside and her year at Waters Edge.

Both properties benefited from her hard work and leadership.

Sara will be leaving us at the end of August. We are sad to see her go and we want to wish her well.

We are now looking for a new leader to fill her role. If you have what it takes to lead and operate Water's Edge, please submit a resume to jay.smith@aviawest.com, with the subject line “Operations Leader for Ucluelet”

- Jay M. Smith, Director of Club Operations & Property Standards

Cynthia Petrie is leaving her position with us at Parkside Victoria on July 23rd .

Cynthia was the very first external hire we did for Parkside and she has been witness to a great deal of growth – both at Parkside and within the Guest Services Team – in the two years she has been with us.

In those two years, Cynthia has gone from helping stock cutlery before we opened to leading Guest Services with class and dedication.

The Parkside Victoria Guest Services Team creates a unique experience for guests and staff alike, providing a high level of service with refreshing enthusiasm!

The Team from left to right, starting with the back row: Jeff Vos, Jessica Marshall, Natasha Pearson, Ben Soldinger, Cory Draper and Nathan Bird (Resort Ambassador).

Please join us in welcoming Noah Fry to the Maintenance team at Parkside. He brings with him an outgoing demeanour and positive attitude, and just loves life in general. Welcome Noah!

We are going to have a BBQ on July 7th over at St. Ann's Academy from 11:30 to 1 pm.

All Aviawest staff are welcome. We will have burgers, hot dogs, salads and drinks. We also plan to have some lawn games going on.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!
