WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19,.1980, PAGE 5 Nurse Business Person of the Year By S. GREENAWAY Free Press Staff A man who has worked for the past 14 years in the community and is currently a resident of Whitby received the Chamber of Commerce's second annual Business Person of the Year Award at their annual din- ner and meeting last week. Bill Nurse, president of Nurse Chev Olds on Dundas East, was this year's award winner. «'I am very proud of the town of Whitby and my ac- tivities have certainly been based here," he said upon receivlng bis plaque. "I have been involved in the true social work and things people would flot always be interested in doing." Nurse admitted that the presentation came as a total surprise to him. "When 1 was invited I thought that Jack (Wood- ward) was going to railroad me into being a director," said Nurse. He admitted that he would love to be a director of the Chamber at some point in the future but at present was to busy to do bis fullest for the post. Nurse, who admitted to being "a shade over 50," has a wife and two daughters, one residing in Uxbridge and another in Halifax. "I cam here in 1966 only to f find out that the highway had been tom Up" around h is dealersbip, originally located wbere the H. Salt Fish and Chips store is currently.

" After a year and a haîf the Nurse dealership moved to it's current location on Dun- das Street where it has since expanded four times, withi one such expansion com- pleted recently. "I feel we have as much to offer (in cars) as ail the foreign cars do," said Nur- se. To that ends a campaign has been started by General Motors called "Buy a car your neighbour helped to build" Nurse* said that em- ployment at bis dealership is Up 15 per cent and he hopes to reach it's full capacity by' next year. "The Town of Whitby it- self is going to grow and ex- pand rapidly." He mentioned that there are a great number of projects ready to go in the town and that he was certain it would grow no matter what anybody did because investors are attracted to Whitby because of it's proximity to Toronto and it's room to expand. "lIt may be mostly a bedroom community now but industry is sure to follow." Nurse received a medal from Governor General Jules Leger for social ser- vice to the community and is a past recipient of the Peter Perry Award. Last week's meeting also saw the nominations of a new executive committee and a new board of direc- tors. In her address to the meeting Marguerite Kulik, president of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce, said that she would like to see more involvement by the Chamber in regards to motions submitted to both the provincial and federal governmnents. "Business people must get involved in goverrnment if they do not want the academics and politicians to make the miles by which they must operate," she said. "Management must en- courage and support in- volvement ini Cbamber's of Comerce and politics if we are to successfully run our cities and towns. " She stressed that business must lead and not just adapt or adjust itself. "Government is every business person's partner and not a silent one at that, but one who takes 50 per cent of the profit and none of the risk." Kullk said business must not let government set the miles by itself but they must "stand up and be counted. " The Whitby Chamber of Commerce nominating committee submitted it's list of nominations to the' new executives for the upcoming year.
