Nominations for Spirit of Success Awards now open

Since the first awards in 2006, the Spirit of Success Awards have grown into the Huron Chamber of Commerce’s marquee event, and one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year.

Nominations are now open for the 20th Annual Spirit of Success Awards, presented by OLG.

Last year’s winners demonstrated the diversity and strength of the local economy.

Libro Credit Union was named Business of the Year, recognized not only for outstanding financial services, but for its community commitment.

Eat Local Huron earned the Environmental and Sustainability Award for connecting residents directly with local producers and advancing sustainable food systems.

These stories reflect the innovation, resilience and community spirit in the county.

This year, the Spirit of Success Awards will once again highlight a wide range of contributions.

Categories include the Young Entrepreneur Award, celebrating the next generation of business leaders; the Volunteer Award, recognizing individuals who give their time selflessly to enhance community life; and the Hospitality and Retail Awards, which honour local businesses that consistently deliver exceptional customer experiences.

“Nominations are the heart of these awards,” admitted Colin Carmichael, Executive Director of the Huron Chamber of Commerce.

“They give us the chance to recognize the people and organizations whose long hours, creativity and dedication keep our county strong. This year, more than ever, we want to hear those stories.”

The nomination categories capture the many ways in which businesses and individuals strengthen the economic and social fabric of Huron County.

According to the Chamber, these awards shine a spotlight on businesses, non-profits, volunteers and community leaders who dedicate their time, energy and talent to making Huron County a great place.

Chamber membership is not required. Any business, organization or individual in Huron County can be nominated and celebrated.

The celebration will culminate at the Spirit of Success Gala on Friday, November 21 at Libro Hall in Clinton, presented in partnership with OLG.

Nominations are open until October 13.
