This award has been put forth by the Sparkes Family in recognition of the contribution their father made to the tourism industry in Newfoundland & Labrador. This award will recognize an individual or company in the accommodations sector within the province who exhibits exceptional dedication to quality service and outstanding commitment to the tourism industry, making a solid contribution to the communities in which they live. These are all qualities of Clayton Sparkes and the Sparkes Family deemed it fitting that an award recognizing these characteristics in others be presented in his name.
