The RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards is the premier national awards program celebrating the achievements of the most successful in this inspiring group.

On her Facebook page, Furneaux said how honoured she was to be nominated.
“I love what I get to do and the Youth and Businesses I get to serve,” said Furneaux. “I don’t think I deserve this as there are many, many incredible women owned businesses.
“I’m humbled and honoured. I will do my very best to make you all proud in this process.”
