GREATER SUDBURY, May 26, 2022 – The Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce honoured ten of Greater Sudbury’s outstanding entrepreneurs and businesses on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at its 25th annual Bell Business Excellence Awards gala. The business community came together in a sold-out crowd of about 400 to celebrate the award finalists and recipients.
For the past 25 years, the chamber has hosted its Bell Business Excellence Awards as an opportunity to not only acknowledge the contributions of area business owners but also learn from them and about them.
