Local Chamber of Commerce Recognizes CMM’s Hard Work
The Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq (CMM) has received some well-deserved accolades for its work, alongside other members of the Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce.
The CMM received the Business Excellence Award, recognizing exemplary work for its Member Communities over the course of the past year. We sent a delegation of 10 to the event to accept the award on April 16th, at the Inn on Prince in Truro.
The award was handed out during the Chamber’s 135th Anniversary Gala, which included dinner and accolades for fellow award winners Business Person of the Year Miriah Kearney, and Duane Rath, the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.
The award is proof of the reputation The CMM has for hard work in the community. It was the result of multiple nominations throughout the Colchester County area over the two months ahead of the Anniversary Gala.
At the event, the Chamber praised The CMM’s “powerful example of excellence” in the community with its aquatic resources management, health, infrastructure, business development and cultural preservation, adding that The CMM is, “shaping a more empowered and vibrant future for generations to come,” in a citation read out before Anne-Marie Campbell with Mosaik Credit Union presented the award to Elder in Residence Donald Julien and Associate Director Wyatt White.
The gala event was well attended, attracting a crowd of businesspeople from all around the area.
The Truro & Colchester Chamber of Commerce started as the Truro Board of Trade in 1890, and is an organization that boasts more than 500 members across Central and North-Central Nova Scotia in an assortment of business sectors.
Mosaik Credit Union, the presenter of this year’s Business Excellence Award, is a consolidated credit union, boasting more than 13,000 members from Amherst to Chester Basin, launched in 2024, as the result of a merger of Community Credit Union, New Ross Credit Union and Victory Credit Union.
