Not only will Morden's best business' be recognized during the 2016 Annual Morden and District Chamber of Commerce (MDCC) Awards Gala, but all in attendance will also be able to hear the business story of guest speaker Brian Scharfstein.

MDCC executive director Candace Olafson noted Scharfstein is a business man from Manitoba. He is the president and CEO of Canadian Footwear as well as Foothealth Centres in Winnipeg and Calgary. He is the owner of the FHC Pedorthic Consulting Services, and is a past chairman of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce.

Olafson stated they wanted to find a Manitoba success story, as well as someone who is a great business leader.

"He's a business leader, he's got a long history of success in business in Manitoba,'' said Olafson. "I think all of the chamber members can be inspired by his story. He's really going to tell us about his path to success and how he grew his company to where it is today."

The gala will be held November 9th at the Access Event Centre, and you can get your tickets through the Chamber.
