The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is sharing their condolences following the passing of Roger Jamieson.

“It is with deep sadness that we share our condolences on the passing of friend and valued contributor to the tourism and hospitality industry, Mr. Roger Jamieson.

Roger was the owner and operator of Kilmory Resort in Swift Current, winning numerous awards, including Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador’s 2022 Accommodation of the Year most recently.

Not only was Roger a tourism operator, he was also a passionate advocate for the province’s tourism industry. Over the course of his life, he was a longtime board member and chair of Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador, chair of the Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism Board and served on the boards of both the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and Destination Canada (formerly the Canadian Tourism Commission).

On behalf of our province, we extend deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, past and present. There is no doubt that his decades of commitment to the industry have helped put Newfoundland and Labrador on the map as a premiere travel destination. Thank you, Roger. Rest easy.”
