The Canadian Window and Door Manufacturers Association (CWDMA) honored many of Canada’s leaders in the door and window industry with the “Industry Pioneer” awards held at the Win-door North American Show held in Toronto on November 18. The awards were held in conjunction with the celebration of Win-door North America’s 15th anniversary.

Twenty-two of 42 honorees were at a special presentation to accept their awards from CWDMA’s president Kevin Pelley of Kohltech International and Pioneer Committee chair, Knut Holmsen of Marvin Windows.

The Pioneers and their guests were treated to a “Special Dinner” in their honor. Several of the honorees took to the podium at the dinner to “tell their stories” and thank CWDMA for the honor.

The “Pioneer Designation” recognizes the nominees’ efforts to promote and to better the objectives of the industry and association nationally, according to the CWDMA.
