Huron big winners

An evening of local food and festivities
welcomed members and guests at the
Huron Manufacturing Excellence Awards
on Nov. 14.
Huron East was the evening's big win-
ner with eight awards presented to com-
panies from Seaforth and Vanastra, includ-
ing the night's top honour Huron County
Manufacturer of the Year, going to Sun -
North Systems Ltd.
The evening began as guests entering
the Seaforth and District Community Cen-
tre were treated to a mini -trade show fol-
lowed by a locally sourced dinner pre-
pared by Cardiff's BBQ Catering of
Brussels.
Hosted by Wes MacVicar, the night
kicked off with greetings from several spe-
cial guests including Huron -Bruce MP Ben
Lobb and MPP Lisa Thompson.
Addressing the crowd, Thompson
explained how poignant the evening's
awards had become due to the recent
announcement of Heinz closing down its
Leamington operation.
"That's 800 jobs and so many negative
ripple effects, we can't even begin to think
of them all," she said, adding how special
Huron County is, due to its foundation of
small business which bring jobs to the
local communities. "The celebration
tonight is about innovation, about creating
jobs and sustaining a quality of life that we
all appreciate:'
Dale Donaldson of Everspring Farms
took the stage as the keynote speaker, shar-
ing his views on how the diversity of recent
food trends throughout the food industry
relates to potential manufacturing oppor-
tunities and challenges within Huron
County.
The evening got into full swing as four
local apprentices were awarded $1,000
scholarships sponsored by the United
Communities Credit Union.
Huron Manufacturing Association chair
Frank Palen said he was pleased with the
turnout, adding anytime the association is
able to get so many manufacturers and
business people together is a great time for
the community.
"We had good support from our local
politicians and that was great too," he said.
"A night like this puts what everybody's
doing front and centre and it shows people
and their peers exactly what's going on in
their neighbourhood'
