The Halifax Business Awards is the Chamber’s most glamorous event of the year. This gala event boasts a spectacular night of entertainment, prestige, and celebration, recognizing risk takers and the success of our thriving business community.

This year's Business Person of the year finalists includes our very own Starr Dobson, President & CEO, Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia:

What would you say is your biggest accomplishment to date as a business person?

"Raising the profile of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia. We exist to make a difference in the lives of Nova Scotians by supporting mental health initiatives in our communities. By sharing that mission across the province (in person, print, radio, online and through social media) we have more than doubled the number of grant applications received over a 12 month period. This heightened exposure gives us the chance to now focus on connecting more donors with innovative projects."
