Posted by

TBT Engineering was awarded the Business Excellence Award (Large) at the annual Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Gala held on Saturday April 14. This was due largely in part to the amazing group of TBTE employees we have working to make a difference in our communities.  In appreciation of all their efforts, TBT held a little celebration for our staff yesterday afternoon with treats from Nucci’s Bake A Deli.  Thanks again for this award which recognizes all of the hard work and dedication they put in.

Their stories are inspiring and instructive for those seeking to excel as an entrepreneur.

“TBT Engineering and Ozaanaman Engineering are honoured to be on the W100 ranking,” says CEO Liana Frenette. “This achievement reflects the strength of our companies and the dedication of our team.”

TBT Engineering recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary this spring under Liana’s leadership.

Frenette credits their success on fostering relationships with local communities and stresses the need for openness and trust with First Nations when doing work in and on traditional First Nations lands.
