Jack & Connie Skrine
Owners

Cherished Moments Travel, originally CM Travel LTD, has a rich history rooted in family and dedication. Founded by Jack and Connie Skrine in 1997, the agency combines Jack's background as a retired RCMP Inspector with Connie's extensive experience in the travel industry. Their vision of running a business together came to fruition as they launched CM Travel & Vacations For Heroes, focusing on serving members of the community.

 

Their family-oriented approach is reflected in the agency's staffing, which includes wives, daughters, and friends of their members. This personal touch allows them to connect deeply with their clients, helping to plan dream vacations as a heartfelt way of expressing gratitude. With Erin, their daughter, now a partner in the business, the legacy continues, ensuring that every member feels valued and supported in their travel endeavors. It's truly a labor of love for the Skrine family!

Amanda Rushton
Travel Advisor

I have been working in the travel industry for approximately 7 years now. With a background as a Kinesiology and health promoter I believe there is a direct link between travel and wellness and I am so passionate to share this with others. I strive to encourage my children to expand their horizons through travel and to open their minds to the wonderful diversity this world has to offer. Whether I spend the weekend at a luxurious resort or roughing it with a hike, every place I go leaves a lasting impression. One of my favourite travel quotes is "fill your life with experiences not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show". I love helping my family, friends and clients design a travel experience that fills their minds with excitement and possibility. Whether you're looking to live your ultimate wanderlust adventures or in need of a relaxing escape from a fast paced world, I look forward to helping with all of your travel needs. amanda@cmtravel.info

I started with CM Travel when it first opened on July 1, 1997. I love to plan travel as well as travel with my family. I'm married with four kids and eight grandchildren, and our family adventures mean the world to me. Travel has certainly changed over the years, but I am thankful for the clients who still reach out when they are looking for the trip of a lifetime or just a quick getaway to a sunny destination. I truly believe that dreaming about travel is good for the mind and keeps our spirits alive. jeannie@cmtravel.info

Darlene Neilsen
Travel Advisor

I am extremely fortunate to say I love my job.  I have been in the travel industry since 1996. I have learned that the experience you earn from traveling is something you will never forget. Working with a dedicated and knowledgeable travel adviser is empowering and will give you the tools needed to make informed decisions so that you can plan the vacation of your dreams.

I got the travel bug when I travelled to Japan, Idonesia, and Thailand at the age of 19 years old. My LOVE for travel enticed my husband and I to take our kids on adventures at a young age where they experienced food and culture from around the world. To this day they still bring up those memories. I always look forward to my next trip, my favorite places to be are on the Sandy beaches in the sun! My travel adventures allow me to help others create their ULTIMATE Vacation experience!

I have spent the last 15 years working with the RCMP in an executive administrative role, where my exceptional organizational and communication skills have been essential in coordinating complex travel agendas and managing the logistics of major events. My strong attention to detail and dedication to client service allow me to effectively resolve both routine and complex inquiries, making me well-equipped for a role as a travel advisor.. With my experience, I understand the intricacies of travel planning and the importance of creating seamless experiences for clients. My background has honed my ability to anticipate needs and provide personalized service, which I believe is key to making every trip memorable.  I’m a proud mother of four children aged 16-21, and I love vacationing with my family. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of travel but also fueled my passion for helping others create their own unforgettable adventures. I’m excited to bring my skills and enthusiasm for travel into a new role as a travel advisor.
