RIM, Seagrams, Schneiders Meats, COM DEV, Zellers, Home Hardware, Dare Foods, Open Text. It all started with the drive and passion of an entrepreneur. Early home-grown businesses that became household names and younger tech firms that are now global corporations have had a huge impact on the economic success of our region - and they'll continue to do so. That's because the entrepreneurial spirit thrives here, supported by a community that applauds risk taking, supports dreams, and provides a fertile ground for innovation. We recognize that spirit, celebrate it, and promote individuals that inspire it in future generations. Celebrate with us and help build the story of the Waterloo Way.
