Moncton, New Brunswick
The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of Foreign Affairs
and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
(ACOA), will join more than 70 of New Brunswick's leading
business people in Moncton today for a unique recognition
event designed to highlight the power of partnerships in
contributing to the province's long-term economic
successes. Billed as the Art of Success, this special networking event
is centred on the benefits to economic growth of
collaboration between public and private sectors."Partnerships have long played a key role in driving the
economic successes of our region," said Minister
MacKay, "Tonight's event affords a unique opportunity to
highlight the real results delivered to Atlantic Canadians
when industry and government work together to grow our
economy and build stronger communities."Mr. David Ganong, President of Ganong Bros. and member of
the North American Competitiveness Council, will speak to
members of the province's business community at tonight's
event. "Despite the many real and perceived challenges of doing
business in New Brunswick, there are many terrific success
stories of businesses built and expanded in New Brunswick
that do not have the visibility and support that they
deserve," said Ganong. "We, in New Brunswick, have many
successes and we should be profiling and supporting our
successes big and small, much like the ACOA showcase today."The list of New Brunswick companies showcased in the Art of
Success includes: Marwood, Tracy; Sunny Corner, Miramichi;
Auberge Les Jardins Inn, Saint-Jacques; Groupe Savoie, St.
Quentin; Bejewel, Fredericton; Whitehill Technologies,
Moncton; Cooke Aquaculture, St. George; Dairytown, Sussex;
Ferme Bourgeois, Memramcook; FatKat Animation, Miramichi;
Timber Top Trusses, Grand Falls; Bulletproof, Fredericton;
