Chamber honours hotelier Mandy Farmer as Member of Distinction
The Award of Distinction highlights a businessperson who has contributed to Greater Victoria through leadership and vision as a positive role model and a sustained commitment to a prosperous community.
This is no dig against Mandy Farmer. She comes from an extremely wealthy family and I'm sure has done a good job of running two budget hotels here. It's not like she grew the hotels from some type of humble start. Her dad built one, they bought the other. It's likely useful to their business model that the province bought out a dozen or more competitors and put them out of the hotel business.
But is she representative of the best we have here in Victoria, in terms of business leaders?
