2010 Recipient

2010 Entrepreneur of the Year

On June 10, 2010 Murray Hogarth was inducted into Burlington's Entrepreneur Hall of Fame. The founder of Pioneer Petroleums, and former CEO has watched his business grow from one gas station to a chain of about 150 stations in Ontario, stretching from Windsor to Ottawa and as far north as Timmins. Pioneer's head office has been located in Burlington for more than 20 years.

"He's a dedicated volunteer and one of the city's top philanthropists. Were it not for Murray Hogarth, we would not have the Burlington Community Foundation (BCF). He was the driving force and made the largest seed donation to the entity that provides funding for community organizations and projects in the city."
- Cam Jackson, Former Mayor of Burlington
