Ruedi Hafen, owner and operator of Niagara Helicopters Limited, has been appointed the 2006 Tourism Enterprise Award.
The Niagara Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (NEYA) program announced their decision Friday night at the 2006 Niagara Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Gala Dinner.
Hafen, along with 22 other nominees, vied for awards in seven different categories that focused on honouring Niagara’s entrepreneurs who exemplify hard work, determination, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Hafen says “To be nominated alongside such inspiring individuals is in itself a privilege. I am extremely honoured to be awarded this recognition.” This was not the first award from the NEYA that Hafen has received – last year he took home the 2005 Established Enterprise Award.
