Les Lauriers de la PME “Coup de Coeur”

Le Réseau de développement économique et d’employabilité de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador (RDÉE TNL) est fier de souligner la nomination de l’auberge Artisan Inn, du village de Trinity, à titre d’entreprise « coup de cœur » des Lauriers de la PME 2014.

Il s’agit du premier prix remporté par une entreprise de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador lors de ce concours national qui en était à sa sixième édition. À sa première participation en 2009, Artisan Inn avait décroché la 2e place dans la catégorie micro-entreprise.

Les Lauriers de la PME soulignent l’excellence entrepreneuriale des gens d’affaires des communautés francophones et acadiennes du Canada. Cinq catégories d’entreprises lauréates sont généralement récompensées, mais cette année le comité de sélection national a également décerné un prix « coup de cœur » afin de souligner l’apport exceptionnel d’Artisan Inn à la communauté de Trinity et à la préservation de son patrimoine.

Marieke Gow était à Moncton, ce samedi 15 novembre dernier afin de recevoir le prix au nom de l’entreprise familiale : « Après le moratoire sur la pêche de la morue, il n’y avait pas beaucoup d’espoir pour les petites communautés, mais il y avait des gens, y compris ma mère Tineke Gow, qui ont eu la vision de relancer ces communautés avec le tourisme. Nous sommes vraiment fières de travailler dans une industrie qui aide avec la protection de la culture, l’héritage et l’histoire de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador et de les partager avec les visiteurs francophones. »
