George Siourounis of Travelodge, Weyburn, Sask. receives 'Wyndham Scott King Community Service Award'

The Travelodge by Wyndham brand session at the Wyndham 2025 Global Conference in Las Vegas, gave the Travelodge brand the opportunity to recognize hotels and staff that go above and beyond in many categories to serve as guests’ Basecamp for Adventure.

The Scott King Award was created in 2022 to celebrate hospitality professionals. For 20 years, Siourounis and the Siourounis family have been going the extra mile by running events like the annual charity golf tournament, which has raised nearly $400,000. Donations have supported medical equipment for the Weyburn General Hospital, the Weyburn Ambulance, supporting the Continuing Care Assistant and practical nursing programs at Southeast College and Inclusion Weyburn and Envision for the last three years in a row.

As Siourounis was unable to attend the conference this year, Trevor Hagel, executive vice president, operations, Travelodge Canada (pictured) accepted the award on his behalf. “I would like to offer our sincere congratulations to the Siourounis family for winning this award. It is a tremendous achievement to be selected from so many worthy candidates across Canada and the United States. The dedication the Siourounis family has shown to running an exemplary property and consistently finding time to enrich the community with events such as their annual charity golf tournament, which has greatly improved the town of Weyburn, is truly remarkable”.
