Several times during the year CRTA organizes day trips to venues that may be of interest of members. These trips can be for half a day, or full day, depending on its distance from Calgary. The travel involved in these trips is subsidized through casino funds earned by CRTA.
Information about these trips is sent to the CRTA membership via email and through The Newsletter, as well as on the Calendar and Events sections of the Website.’
CRTA welcomes any suggestions for interesting places to visit in Alberta. Contact any member of the CRTA Board with your idea.
The CRTA has made alliances with Collette Vacations, Cruise Plus and Merit Travel. Discounts can be obtained through these organizations for members of CRTA and family or friends traveling with them. Members of CRTA can book Collette Vacations with any travel agent in Calgary such as Marlin Travel or Merit Travel at The University of Calgary– a full service travel agency offering tours, flights as well as Longstay Vacations.
At times a CRTA member will organize a group of CRTA members to travel together on tours offered by our travel affiliates. These opportunities are again presented through E-mail, the Newsletter and the Web-site.
