Jamieson founded the popular Swift Current vacation destination Kilmory Resort in the early 1990s.“Not only was Roger a tourism operator, he was also a passionate advocate for the province’s tourism industry,” the statement said.

“On behalf of our province, we extend deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, past and present. There is no doubt that his decades of commitment to the industry have helped put Newfoundland and Labrador on the map as a premiere travel destination. Thank you, Roger. Rest easy,” the statement said.
