Each year, we recognize three outstanding entrepreneurs with bestowed awards that honour their special achievements. The award recipients are chosen by selection committees appointed by the NEYA Organizing Committee.

The Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an enterprising leader in our community whose contribution to the development of economic ventures in Niagara has spanned several decades. The recipients of these awards are then inducted into the Niagara Enterprise Hall of Fame, along with the Historical Hall of Fame inductees.
The Niagara Enterprise Hall of Fame was created in 1994 to remind people of the rich entrepreneurial heritage of the Niagara Region. Our very first inductee was William Hamilton Merritt whose contributions to the region in the early 1800s are well known. Over the years, we have recognized other such individuals who have helped shape Niagara through enterprising innovation.
The Community Contribution award is a special service award designed to honour those individuals whose dedication, commitment and philanthropy have had a significant impact on the greater Niagara community. Recipients of this award have served as role models by giving back to the community or local charities.
