Chamber honours Sudbury businesses, entrepreneurs at Bell awards

The Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce honoured 10 of Greater Sudbury’s outstanding entrepreneurs and businesses this week at an online show of its 23rd-annual Bell Business Excellence Awards.

For the past 22 years, the chamber has hosted the awards as an opportunity to not only acknowledge the contributions of our community’s business owners, but to also learn from them and about them.

“From young entrepreneurs operating out of their home to established owners of international companies, the Bell Business Excellence Awards are an inspiring evening that points a spotlight on the people who form the backbone of our community and the family, friends, and experiences that keep them going,” the chamber said in a release.

“This event was a spectacular celebration that recognized businesses and entrepreneurs whose achievements and contributions to the community distinguish them from their peers.”

The winners were announced virtually on CTV Northern Ontario’s Livestream link.
