September 15, 2009 (Vancouver, BC) –
Nurse Next Door is proud to announce that, this past
weekend,
Christopher and Lori Paton accepted the company’s 2009
Franchise Partner of the Year Award on behalf of
their Oakville / Burlington, Ontario franchise.
The 2009 Nurse Next Door ‘Core Value’ Awards program took
place at a gala event at the Four Seasons
Hotel in downtown Vancouver to cap off the company’s annual
franchise conference. The venue played host to the
historic event which brought together all of Nurse Next Door’s
franchise partners from across the country for the
second year in a row.
