TRUDEAU'S WINS 2011 VISION AWARD

TRUDEAU'S WINS 2011 VISION AWARD

Resort and Rodeo recognized for Milestone Achievement

By Megan Abraham Community Press

Tweed — A business here took top honours at the 2011 Vision Awards presented by the Land O' Lakes Tourist Association last Thursday evening. Casey Trudeau and his wife Cheri were this year's hosts for the awards held at Trudeau's Resort and Banquet Centre, Sept. 29. Unbeknownst to them, they would also be the recipients of the evening's most prestigious award — the Milestone Achievement Award. The Vision Awards, hosted every two years, recognizes businesses in nine member municipalities for their innovation, expansion, accessibility, determination to succeed and commitment to their community, said Land O' Lakes Tourist Association manager Rachelle Hardesty.This year saw a huge number of nominations, she said. More than 100 nominations were filed, and of those, 88 were finalists. A business from each municipality took home this year's award, and one business —Trudeau's Resort and Banquet Centre — took home the top award for overall achievement. "All nominations were worthy of recognition," Hardesty said before beginning the awards ceremony.
Tweed Coun. Justin Bray said he was honoured to present the top award to a long-standing, family-owned and operated business in Tweed. Bray said since changing ownership in 2007, Trudeau's Resort and Banquet Centre has brought tourists to Tweed with its family-oriented events. "They've brought in more than 10,000 people to their rodeo event, which is only in its second year," Bray said, adding the Dodge Ram Rodeo Tour at Trudeau's is the biggest in the circuit. "They now attract families and visitors of all ages," he said. Trudeau said he and his wife were elated to be this year's recipients of the Milestone Achievement Award."We're definitely excited. I think everyone who gets nominated for an award for a business they've put their heart and soul into is honoured — but winning on the other hand is even better," he said.

Trudeau said he's wanted to host the awards since he was last nominated and attended in 2007, and was happy to have the opportunity to be this year's location of choice for the dinner and ceremony. The success of his business, he said, is owed to the support of his family and the community. "I need to thank my wife and two boys," he said. "Our children are actually a lot of the inspiration for what we do here."Trudeau said Tweed's local businesses work together and couldn't survive without the mutual support. He also thanked the municipal council. "They've been really supportive, I can't wait to continue working with them in the upcoming years," he said.Trudeau's Resort and Banquet Centre was one of 18 businesses nominated in the Municipality of Tweed.
