Montreal, November 18, 2015 – Transat is pleased to announce that the Skyland Travel Inc./Escapes.ca agency in Vancouver, British Columbia, won the Confetti program's $25,000 grand prize. The winner was chosen by random draw from among the 46 agencies that qualified across Canada throughout the year.

Skyland Travel Inc./Escapes.ca had the pleasure of receiving a surprise visit from several Transat representatives who came to celebrate their success. Tomoko Shimada, Chairperson of Skyland Travel Inc., and Chris and Sean Rollinson, Co-Presidents of Escapes.ca, proudly accepted the cheque for $25,000 under a shower of confetti alongside their entire team.

"Transat’s Confetti program was a great opportunity and challenge for Skyland Travel Inc./Escapes.ca. The true takeaway was encountering a goal and being able to achieve it as a team.
