Master of Ceremonies Peter Mansbridge, Order of the Business Hall of Fame Chancellor Frank McKenna and over 1,100 senior executives from across Canada recognized the distinguished 2010 Inductees and welcomed them as Companions to the Order of the Business Hall of Fame at the Gala Dinner Induction Ceremony on May 11, 2010 in Toronto.

The Canadian Business Hall of Fame honours the outstanding contributions of Canadian business leaders to the economic growth and development for our nation, and in so doing, provides role models for enterprising young Canadians for generations to come.

The Inductees’ entrepreneurial and management skills, vision, determination, and perseverance have helped to shape Canada. The jobs they have created and the products and services they have developed play a significant role in maintaining our high standard of living. As leaders and mentors, they have earned the respect of their peers for their integrity and sound business ethics.

Members of the Canadian Business Hall of Fame serve as inspiring examples for all young Canadians and are featured in an interactive display at Brookfield Place in Toronto, Ontario.
