Canadian Citizenship Ceremony

Congratulations to Banff Aspen Lodge Housekeeping Manager Angel Santos who recently received her Canadian Citizenship at a ceremony at Lake Minnewanka. Angel was apart of a ceremony that welcomed 50 people from 17 different countries to become Canadian Citizens.


Angel is originally from the Philippines and came to Banff in September 2004. She choose to come to Canada so that she would be able to help her family in the Philippines financially. Angel started working at the hotel as a room attendant; she then moved into the Housekeeping Supervisor role and is now our Housekeeping Manager (currently on maternity leave). Angel met her husband here in Banff and they have an adorable daughter Lexi, who is six months old.

After the ceremony I asked Angel what being Canadian meant to her and she said "happy and healthy living". I love this answer! I am so lucky to have been born in this amazing country and Angel's story is a perfect reminder of this.

Angel enjoys living in Banff for the nature and the great friends she has here. She has been part of the Banff Aspen Lodge family for seven years this September and we are so blessed to have her!
