Message from the Chair of the Board

Now's the time to plan your winter vacation!

Hello Valued CAA Members! 

Traditionally, at this time of year, when we bid farewell to fall and prepare to welcome winter, we turn into couch potatoes and reflect on how nice it would be to go on a vacation. But, if you are like me, you may need some help deciding on where to go — and also some good advice on all of those important travel details, such as flights, accommodations, and insurance.

No need to worry about the ins and outs of planning your trip, thanks to the expertise of CAA Travel Consultants, right here in Saskatchewan. The CAA Travel team can help with everything, including tickets to local attractions at major entertainment hubs, like Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal Studios. Whether your plan involves a Christmas market tour, an all-inclusive resort, or a getaway to a sunny destination — be it Tobago (be sure to read “Escape to Tobago,” on page 28), Barbados, Jamaica, Mexico, Florida, or Hawaii — leave the research and planning to CAA Travel Consultants. Because they have travelled to many popular destinations and work closely with top-notch international flight, cruise, and tour partners, they can provide solid advice that will enhance your vacation experience.

Meanwhile, did you know you can have your passport photo taken at any CAA Store in Saskatchewan — and enjoy Member-exclusive pricing as well? You can also purchase travel insurance (Members save 10 percent) through your CAA Travel Consultant, so you and your loved ones are covered throughout your trip.

And here’s another insider tip, CAA Saskatchewan owns and operates WestWorld Tours, Western Canada’s premier motorcoach travel company, which serves Canadians from coast to coast in North America and around the world. In January 2025, WestWorld Tours will be celebrating a milestone — 25 years of providing exemplary escorted travel with professional tour directors. Connect with your local CAA Travel Consultant for details on any of the many other exciting adventures offered by WestWorld Tours.
