Hall of fame honours Walter Hachborn

ST. JACOBS, Ont. — Home Hardware co-founder Walter J. Hachborn was inducted last week into the Waterloo Region Entrepreneur Hall of Fame. The ceremony in Kitchener represented the return of the honour after a three-year hiatus. Initiated by the Prosperity Council in 2006, the award was revived by Waterloo Region this year. Accepting the accolade on Hachborn’s behalf, Home Hardware CEO Terry Davis praised his “innovation, hard work, and commitment” throughout a career spanning nearly eight decades.
