Vanessa Oake Hogan and the team at Century 21 United Realty recently completed an extensive renovation of their building at 387 George St.

The project was triggered by a serious plumbing malfunction that flooded all three floors of the building and resulted in a reconfiguration of the space including the creation of drop-in private workspaces, multiple board rooms, client and agent lounge areas, and a fully accessible main floor. A coffee bar, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, a new floor, paint, lighting, and art completed the work. Check it out at the Open House this Thursday (May 19) from 2 p.m. – 4. p.m.

The newly merged Chamber theme this year is “Excellence is all around us” and there are over 20 categories to choose from, including agriculture, four under 40, new Canadian entrepreneurs, hospitality and the business citizen of the year.

Nominating your favourite business is as easy as entering their name on the Express Nomination Form and Self-nominations are encouraged and are a great way to recognize your team. The deadline is May 25th at 4:30 p.m. details at pkexcellence.ca.

If your business or organization has an innovative opportunity or project you want to take on but just don’t have the resources to do it, have a look at the Applied Projects program at Fleming College.

The projects should engage senior business and technology students, who will work in teams of three or four, guided by seasoned faculty and mentors, to develop and implement innovative solutions. Sample applied projects include business strategy, marketing, social media, process improvement, sensory networks, virtualization and cloud solutions and web presence and optimization.
