I am pleased to announce the appointment of Andrea Farkas to the position of Guest Services Leader at Parkside Victoria Resort and Spa.
Andrea joined Parkside in February of last year as a Guest Service Agent, and soon after was promoted to Guest Services Supervisor. Through her dedication and commitment to delivering exemplary service to our guests as well as her positive attitude, Andrea has remained an integral member of our Guest Services Team.
Andrea brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having worked for such brands as Four Seasons Hotels in both Las Vegas and Whistler. She has her degree in Hotel Administration from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and her masters in Early Childhood Education and Development also from UNLV.
Please join me in congratulating Andrea on her new role with Aviawest.

Congrats to Trina White who had a little baby boy on August 4th at 1:50pm.
His weight was 7 lbs and 2 oz, which was about two pounds smaller than they had all guessed!
Trina said it took them three days to name him, but finally chose Riley Thomas Ware. Trina says she is doing just fine and will come by in the next few weeks to show him off!
Congrats to Trina and family!

The lucky winner of the 2010 BMW X5 Contest dropped by Parkside to collect his $15,000 on July 27, 2011.
Benjamin Tucker of Victoria, BC, decided to go for the cash option rather than the two-year lease on the BMW. He'd like to put the cash towards the purchase of a different car he had his heart set on.
Congratulations Benjamin!

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.

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!"
