“We are honoured to welcome Sandra and Colin to the board,” said Banff Festival executive director Jenn Kuzmyk, in the news release. “Sandra is uniquely positioned as one of the industry’s most senior leaders in both the linear and streaming spaces. The festival will benefit greatly from both her strategic perspective and her work to further gender and diversity initiatives, which is a perfect fit with our mandate. Colin’s vast experience on the vanguard of international business development and content production as well as his strong commitment to the Canadian media industry will be invaluable as Banff continues to grow its legacy and position as an ignition point for the global media business.”
