involvement. Going above and
beyond the call of duty.
Everyone who crossed the stage
at the 40 Under Forty awards ceremony exemplified these characteristics, Nov. 17.
Forty Sudburians from all sectors of the community were honoured during the gala held at the
Caruso Club.
“I was obviously thrilled,”
Beau Frescura, a RBC investment
adviser and executive member of
the Rotary Club of Sudbury Sunrisers, said. “It’s always nice to get an
award like that.”
The 28-year-old is a member
of the award-winning dragon boat
team Sudbury Canoe Club Chiropractic, and was also chosen to give
a convocation address on behalf of
the Laurentian Alumni Association
in June.
“Good things come to those who
do good things,” he said.
The self-proclaimed “competitive type” attributed his success to
“living life to its fullest.”
“If you feel like you’re in control, you’re going too slow,” he said.
Catherine Coe, another award
recipient, said it was an “honour”
to be recognized.
“There are a lot of worthy
people in this town, and it’s nice
to be one of them,” the Lougheed
Funeral Homes funeral director
and Sudbury Sunrisers Rotarian
said.
She said doing something she
loves is her secret to success.
“Make sure you do something
you love,” she said. “Always do
the best job you can, and it’s very
important to give back to the community. There’s always a sense
of accomplishment with that for
sure.”
Since 2006, Northern Ontario
Business (NOB) has been recognizing the accomplishments of young
professionals in the city, as well as
in North Bay, by hosting the awards.
Patricia Mills, publisher of
NOB, said this year’s recipients are
an inspiring group.
“How lucky we are as a com-

munity to have the talent, tenacity, resourcefulness and passion
that appear to be trademarks of
this year’s winners,” she said. “We
need to say thank you to all of our
young leaders who stayed here to
build their futures, who came back
to begin their futures or who moved
here to raise families and contribute to the growth of our community.
“When you look at their skills
in total, it’s quite encouraging as a
community,” she said. “We’re going
forward with the talent we have
here.”
The panel of judges, made of
past 40 Under Forty winners, said
selecting the winners was no easy
task.
Karen Hourtovenko, a certified
life coach, nurse practitioner and
health and wellness coach, said
having so many nominations to
pick from meant only good things
for the city.
“It was a pleasure to read all
the applications,” she said. “I think
we have a lot of great people in
Sudbury, and a lot of great young
people in Sudbury. This group of
people is the generation that will
lead us forward as a community.”
Hourtovenko was partnered
with Dennis Landry, a partner with
Copperworks Consulting, Eleethea Savage, business development
officer with the City of Greater
Sudbury and Richard Dupuis,
director at Desjardins Business
Centre.
