“This year’s award recipients are diverse in their experience, but similar in their desire to grow the economy,” said David Boyce, Chair of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce, in a release. “They have taken risks, worked hard, and are committed to our community.”

Robert Brown Jewellers received the chair's award and Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Debbi Nicholson was recognized for her 35 years of service with the chamber.
