HLF Among Recipients of Halton Hills Business Excellence Awards

The Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce celebrated the 43rd Business Excellence Awards at a Gala celebration at Granite Ridge Golf Club October 19, 2022.

“The core message of the evening was community. Every day our businesses are focused on getting the job done but they all find time to give back to Halton Hills. Our awards bring the business community together to celebrate how important each and everyone’s contribution to the economy of Halton Hills is and to recognize business excellence.” said Chamber Executive Director Melanie Frazer.

The Halton Hills Chamber Business Excellence Awards recognize the contributions of local businesses, organizations and their teams. These awards are not just about a company’s financial success, they are intended to acknowledge a set of values that recognize social responsibility, entrepreneurial spirit, risk-taking, ideas, and innovation in our community — all of which contribute to a stronger local economy.

In his address to the attendees, Sean Ashbee, Principal at Title Sponsor Grant Thornton said: “At Grant Thornton, we believe in working together to create a meaningful and sustainable impact on the communities in which we live and work. Contributing to the prosperity of our communities is second nature to us.”
