VANCOUVER — Canada’s three busy ports are preparing for a summer of strong activity. According to a Canadian Tourism Commission report, Halifax, Victoria and Vancouver will all see increases in the number of cruise ships travelling to Canada this summer, and it can only mean more foot traffic for our foodservice industry.
As one of the world’s largest natural harbours, Halifax has been attracting passenger cruises for years, but fall has typically been the favoured season for travel. These days, however, cruisers are scheduled to visit from April to October, reports Randall Shirley of the Canadian Tourism Commission.

"We are listening to our guests and responding to what they want when it comes to variety, taste and nutritional profile," says Matthew Hoag, the chain’s corporate chef. "That's why we've added the new gluten-free pizza crust and why our signature, fresh daily, hand-pressed dough is now available in original, thin crust and multigrain formats."

TORONTO — A Calgary-based restaurateur has been named new Chairman of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association (CRFA).
Gerard Curran, the proprietor of the popular James Joyce Irish Pub and Restaurant in downtown Calgary, was elected to the position at the association's annual meeting today in Toronto. "I'm honoured to be representing one of the most innovative and exciting industries in Canada," said Curran. "With more than 80,000 locations and one million employees, we make a tremendous contribution to the Canadian economy and society. I believe that with the entrepreneurial spirit of our industry, we can do even more."
Irish by birth, Curran came to Canada in 1979 at the age of 20. As a teen he worked in pubs as well as for Guinness, Ireland’s iconic beer company. Once in Canada, he worked his way up to become CEO of a $30-million brewing company. In 1997, Curran opened the James Joyce — the first authentic Irish pub in Alberta — with his wife, Anne.
In addition to his leadership role with the CRFA, Curran is president of the Calgary Irish Chamber of Commerce and is a past participant on Calgary's 4th Street Redevelopment Board and the Calgary Downtown Association. He is also sole proprietor of several other unrelated companies.
