Attendees of this celebration joined JA-NEO at The Venue in Downtown Peterborough.

“The Business Hall of Fame not only focuses on celebrating outstanding local business leaders from across our community, but it also plays an essential role in helping to prepare and inspire the next generation,” explained John McNutt, president and CEO of JA-NEO. “All of the proceeds raised from tonight’s event will help JA meet the growing demand for our financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship education programs for students.”

By honouring the past and present business leaders of our community, they work to inspire the trailblazers of tomorrow and ensure the continued success of the community’s local economy.
