Most recently, she served as the Director of Rooms at Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver. After completing her diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management at Nova Scotia Community College, Clancy was selected to join Fairmont’s Leadership Development program in 2012 accelerating young talent. Through the program, Clancy gained experience across multiple properties. She has also continued her education and is currently completing her degree in tourism at Thompson Rivers University.

“I am thrilled to join The Cabot Collection, whom I’ve long admired for their incredible portfolio and stellar reputation,” said Clancy. “I’m looking forward to being a part of the Inverness community and further shaping the stunning destination through Cabot Cape Breton.”
Cabot Cape Breton first emerged on the global stage over a decade ago with the opening of Cabot Links, which was immediately heralded as one of the world’s greatest golf courses. The Cabot Collection CEO and Co-founder Ben Cowan-Dewar discovered the former mining town 17 years ago, and with the help of a dedicated team, he has since turned the former remote stretch of land into one of the top golf destinations in the world. Cabot Cape Breton now includes a 72-room lodge, various real estate offerings, three restaurants and 46 thrilling holes of golf. Following the tremendous success revitalizing the rural region and catapulting the destination of Cape Breton onto the map, The Cabot Collection is now a world-renowned international brand with five properties in some of the world’s most jaw-dropping settings.
