The heart of Ontario’s hospitality industry beats stronger thanks to the passion, leadership, and dedication of remarkable individuals — and today, we are proud to celebrate them.
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 OHI Hall of Fame inductees — a distinguished group of leaders whose lifelong contributions have left a powerful legacy across Ontario’s hospitality sector.
