The 26th Annual Vaughan Chamber of Commerce Business Achievement Awards on April 9th was another successful business networking event. Over 550 business leaders were invited to the beautiful Paramount Conference & Event Venue at 222 Rowntree Dairy Road where they were treated to a fantastic evening of cocktails, dinner, award presentations and talks from keynote speakers. Kevin O’Leary, Canadian investor and “Shark” investor on ABC’s Shark Tank was the keynote speaker for the evening and discussed his pointers on how to start and maintain a successful business in the Canadian market. Kevin shared a number of success stories including his investment in Wicked Good Cupcakes on Shark Tank, a small business selling cupcakes in a jar where they managed to grow their company and increase their sales by an impressive amount.

A number of awards were handed out including the Philanthropic Business Person of the Year Award which went to Mrs. Rossana Magnotta, President & Chief Executive Officer of Magnotta Winery for her outstanding work in raising awareness on Lyme Disease. Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, MPP Steven Del Duca, York Region Chairman & CEO Wayne Emmerson and members of City Council were all in attendance for this special event.
