Business Hall of Fame Inductees

The bi-annual Chamber Business Hall of Fame celebrates the legacy of innovators, barrier-breakers, community investors and business leaders who have played a role in the region’s economic growth and prosperity.  Honouring individuals, businesses, and families that have been crucial in the building of our strong community, inductees are chosen by a panel of local judges selected for their deep knowledge and longstanding connections to the community.

The inaugural Chamber Business Hall of Fame was held on October 5th, 2022.  The event inducted 14 past Chamber Lifetime Achievement Award recipients and 5 new Chamber Business Hall of Fame honourees.  Watch the event broadcast below.
