A project as ambitious as Queen City Distillers is about more than construction, it's about people.
As we move closer to opening, we're proud to introduce the newest addition of leaders helping shape Saskatchewan's future entertainment destination.
Some have built careers around the world. Others have spent years helping shape Saskatchewan's hospitality, culinary and entertainment industries.
Collectively, they bring experience from Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, luxury hospitality destinations across the Maldives and Saudi Arabia, the Gordon Ramsay restaurant group, world-class w**e regions, major entertainment events and some of the hospitality industry's most respected brands.
