The votes have been cast, the results have been counted, and the wait is almost over.
On Thursday, June 18, your favourites in 48 categories will be unveiled at the Agents’ Choice Awards Presentation & Gala.
Chosen by those who know best — travel advisors themselves — the Agents’ Choice Awards honours the industry’s standout suppliers, partners, and experiences.
The Historic Carlu
Set against the elegant backdrop of The Carlu, one of Toronto’s premier venues, the event will bring together industry leaders for an evening of recognition, networking, and celebration.
From the Welcome Reception by WestJet and WestJet Vacations to the After-Party by TravelBrands, the night is poised to be the can’t-miss event of the season.
A Lifetime of Achievement
Also to be revealed is the W.H. Baxter Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes an individual who has made a lasting and positive impact on the travel industry.
Silent Auction – Open for Bidding
The 2026 Agents’ Choice Awards Gala supports Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter, a non-profit organization that provides advocacy, crisis intervention, and shelter to women and their children escaping violence.
Great prizes are available, including:
- Round-trip airline tickets
- 7-night hotel stays, car rentals, and trip vouchers
- Gift cards, gift baskets, entertainment tickets, and more!
Please help us continue to raise critical funds by participating in the silent auction or by making a donation. The silent auction will close on June 18.
A Strong Future for a Resilient Industry
Travel advisors, suppliers, and partners in travel: we’ve been through turbulent times, exciting changes, and massive upheavals.
That’s why the Agents’ Choice Awards is all about one theme this year, and we’ve created a brand new award to celebrate it.
The Strength & Resilience Award is about the people and organizations who are committed to not only weathering the storms, but also to growing through challenges and building a better future together.
We can’t wait to gather and celebrate an industry that has demonstrated this theme time and time again.
