Green Economy North celebrated its successful first year with Green Gala at College Boreal on April 20.
The event brought businesses, environmental and community leaders together to celebrate sustainability in Sudbury.
Rebecca Danard, executive director of reThink Green, was very impressed with the nominations for the 2017 Environmental Champion.
"It was a real demonstration to us of how many dedicated individuals are leading change in our business community," Danard said.
"In the end, we decided we couldn't choose just one — and so we are awarding Environmental Champion to three amazing leaders."
2017 Environmental Champion award recipients are:
- Melanie Cropp
- Skye Little
- Ricky Lemieux
