Hi, I’m Mandi! I’m excited to join Vacation for Heroes as a travel agent. As someone who previously worked in the Public Service, I have a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication of those in public service. I’m thrilled to now support heroes like you in a different way—by helping you plan incredible trips to unwind and recharge. As a passionate traveler and a mom of two, I understand the value of creating meaningful, stress-free getaways with loved ones. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or time to reconnect, I’m here to make your travel dreams a reality. 



JadeJade Donaldson

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.

I got the travel bug when I travelled to Japan, Indonesia, 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!

Amanda Rushton

I have been working in the travel industry for approximately 5 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 favorite 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.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"I am a member of the RCMP and was posted to Sudan in 2009. As all of our contingent soon found out, conducting financial transactions in this part of the world proved very difficult. Credit and bank cards are not excepted and Internet connections are difficult at the best of times. Even more difficult is making travel arrangements. Most reservations had to be made in person and with cash. Luckily for me another member, posted with me, suggested “Vacations for Hero’s” out of British Columbia. From my UN compound, in a remote corner of South Sudan, I was able contact Linda Hayes at Vacations for Hero’s. With Linda I was able to obtain the most advantageous travel arrangements. I found their travel knowledge broad and their access extensive. I was able to plan, book and pay for my trips out of Sudan with security and confidence. Because of this experience I will use Vacations for Heroes exclusively for all my travel needs."
