Hours 2018 Last Wednesday night, the City of North Bay hosted the annual Northern Ontario Business
Awards (NOBA), at the North Bay Granite Club. This gala awards night, which is put on
Mark your calendar! annually by Michael Atkins and his team at Northern Ontario Business, celebrates the
achievements of our business community and business leaders, in Northern Ontario. This
event held every year for the past 32 years, is hosted by a different community each year
WEDNESDAY, and it was fitting that the City of North Bay hosted the 2018 event, at the Granite Club. Bobby
October 17, 2018 Ray and his staff at the Granite Club transformed the facility into a beautiful venue for the
evening of celebration.
Mini-Trade Show It was an evening of showcasing the business community of Northern Ontario. North Bay
co-hosted by held its own against the competition from our neighbours to the west and north, picking up
four of the prestigious awards. Congratulations to Mark Weckwerth and his team from Bay
Roofing - Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Lindsay Sarazin of Wolf Eye Productions - First
Nations Business Award of Excellence and Dave and Jade Nighbor of 9 Lives Design Inc. -
Company of the Year 1-15 employees. The Judges Choice award, also came home to North
Bay and the location of the event, proved to be a fitting one.
The Judges Choice award, was the last of the evening and was presented to Mark Brown,
Dave Bennett and Rick Miller, representing the Planning Committee for the World Women’s
Curling Championship held earlier this year. The Planning Committee graciously accepted
this award on behalf of the over 400 community volunteers, who made this event an
outstanding success. The nine-day event broke attendance records from prior events held in
many major cities across Canada. Not only did it smash attendance records, but it also
pumped an estimated seven million dollars into our local economy. The host club, the North
Bay Granite Club, was the appropriate venue to host this celebration of the business
communities, from across the north.

North Bay, ON After the awards were presented and the crowds gone, it is refreshing to note that North Bay
4:00 pm to 7:00 pm has some truly amazing entrepreneurs and business people that can compete, anywhere. As
a community, the same is true. The spirit and electricity that surrounded the World Women’s
Curling in March and recognized with last weeks Northern Ontario Business Awards, is
something that we should all be proud of. Our citizens and volunteers, from both the City
Thursday, proper and neighbouring communities, showed what Northern hospitality is all about. Pride
in our community is recognized and especially by other communities. Congratulations to the
November 29, 2018 nominees and winners of the awards, but especially our hometown winners…you did us
hosted by proud!!!
