Troyer Ventures named entrepreneurship finalist

Posted by NicoleRubin on August 17, 2015

We would like to take this opportunity to recognize Steve Troyer as he has recently been named as a finalist for a major accounting firm's entrepreneurship award!

Steve was named as a finalist for the 2015 Ernst and Young Business Services Entrepreneur of the Year award in the Pacific region of Canada. Troyer is competing with two other companies in his category.   If his company wins the Pacific award in his category, he could be selected to compete with winners from other regions – Prairies, Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic – to become the Canadian Entrepreneur of the Year.

The Canadian Entrepreneur Of The Year program is in its 22nd year of recognizing, celebrating and telling the inspiring stories of the country’s most impressive entrepreneurs from all areas of business and at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey. Award finalists are chosen based on their vision, leadership, innovation, financial success, personal integrity, and work in giving back to their communities (http://www.ey.com/CA/en/Newsroom/News-releases/2015-Pacific-regions-legacy-building-entrepreneurs-advance-to-finalist-stage-of-the-EY-Entrepreneur-Of-The-Year-program)

In an interview with the Alaska Highway News, he said he wasn't sure why he was nominated, but thought it might be the years of our company’s growth that caught the evaluators’ eyes.   He was quoted as saying, “It is an honor to be acknowledged by the business community on this level.  There are many great entrepreneurs out there doing great work creating jobs and improving our lives every day.”

“There is a lot of success and talent represented in the group of finalists,” he added. “Just to make it to this level is an accomplishment?.” 

Winner will be announced on September 24.
