Canadian Beer News posted an article on January 26 about NC Brewmaster Jon Downing’s Award of Excellence from Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities.
Downing, who was nominated by Craig Youdale, Dean of NC’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute, was honoured with an Innovation and Entrepreneurship award for working with industry and business to drive economic development since he helped launch NC’s Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program over a decade ago.
Comments from both Downing and Youdale are included in the article, which also mentions that NC’s Amal Driouich and Gordon Maretzki from Research & Innovation’s PPE Team were also recognized with an award in the Everyday Heroes category.
