GOHBA Recognizes Outstanding Members

June 8, 2022

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the Fred Neilsen “Company of the Year” Award. Each year GOHBA members have the honor of acknowledging three of their own with distinguished awards for outstanding accomplishments and service to the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and the residential construction industry.

Numerous people are committed to making the mission of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association a reality.  Without each of these people, we would not achieve the successes that we do on a regular basis.

These Awards are but a small token of our collective appreciation to the recipients:

FRED NEILSEN AWARD – Fotenn Planning + Design
