Canadian Business Hall of Fame

Filed in archive Noteworthy on December 11, 2006

Did you know that there was a Canadian Business Hall of Fame? I had no idea. According to Wikipedia the Canadian Business Hall of Fame was established by Junior Achievement Canada in 1979 and have named 147 laureates to the Hall of Fame.

David Sobey and his brother Donald have been fixtures of the grocery business for a half century, but the pair still seemed surprised by the fuss that was being made Friday as they were named as inductees into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame.

The other inductees are Charles Baillie, former chairman of TD Bank Financial Group, Stephen A. Jarislowsky, founder, Jarislowsky, Fraser and Co., and Joseph Segal, founder, Kingswood Capital Corp. PDF available. Via Sobey brothers follow dad into hall of fame

What I find noteworthy is that the Sobey brothers may be the first second-generation members to make it into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame.

Does anyone know if there is an actual building where the Hall of Fame is located? I found this webpage at Junior Achievement, and the website of the CBHOF. I think it would make for an interesting tourist attraction.
