We were honoured to take part in this year’s 22nd Annual Niagara 40 Under Forty Business Achievement Awards as a Table Sign Sponsor—celebrating the next generation of leaders driving positive change across the region.

Held on May 29, 2025, at the Holiday Inn in St. Catharines, this prestigious event recognized 40 of Niagara’s most inspiring entrepreneurs, professionals, and community builders under the age of 40. Hosted by Business Link Media Group, the gala welcomed over 300 attendees, including distinguished guests, past award winners, and civic leaders from across the region.

It was a proud evening for NPG, as Denise Horne, Manager of Heritage & Policy Planning, was named one of the 2025 award recipients. Denise’s leadership in heritage conservation, policy development, and community-focused planning is a driving force within our firm and the broader planning community. The evening also featured inspiring speeches and a celebration of the impactful work being done across Niagara.

At NPG Planning Solutions, we’re committed to empowering leaders who help shape vibrant, resilient, and inclusive communities. Supporting events that uplift professionals like Denise aligns with our mission to plan for people and places.

Congratulations to Denise and all of this year’s honourees. Your leadership and dedication are helping to build a stronger Niagara.
