“The goal of HAC’s awards program is to reward strong standards in the industry that will enable Canada to remain competitive,” said Tony Pollard, HAC President. “We are pleased to honour the 2011 winners, whom we feel represent some of the finest examples of professionalism, quality and excellence.”

The HAC Hall of Fame Awards of Excellence will be presented on March 6th at the HAC’s Annual Convention being held at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel.
