Atlantic Entrepreneur of the YearAnnie's Canteen and Wooden Flowers - Annie (Ronnie) Paul St. Mary's Tree Service - Lee Polchies Sr. Apitpeg Crafts - Margaret LaBillois Glooscap's Trading Post - Basil Peters *Since this was the first year for the awards, the judges decided to give the Atlantic Entrepreneur of the Year Award to four recipients. They are entrepreneurs who have been in business between 35 to 50 years, well before there was much help to support business in community. The idea behind giving four this year, was to acknowledge these elders, their contribution to the community and set the bar, or the foundation for which to build the future awards. In the words of one of our judges for the awards, Dr. Fred Wien, "naming the four elders Atlantic Entrepreneur is in recognition of the past and the foundation that these people have laid for entrepreneurship."
