industry for many years. In 1976, she began her career in the airline industry

successful company since 1982. With a staff of five her main business is

the African continent, various specialty tours to the wine lands of South
Africa and tours to famous battlefields on both sides of the Atlantic. Always
innovative, Diane has expanded to include: Spiritual Retreats in Tuscany,
educational excursions, group tours including choirs, ensembles, musicians, and
orchestras.

military background as a child. It afforded a practical view of the world while
creating the groundwork for her profession. Her outgoing nature combined with
her military discipline allows her to manage her business and participate in
her many interests and memberships which include the following: The Royal
Canadian Military Institute, The St. George’s Society, The National Ballet of
Canada, Hunters Glen Golf Club, Brampton Horticultural Society, Foxbury Farms,
The Ontario Jaguar Owners Association, The Australian Wine Society, and The
