"The Hispanic community, though the THCC, is now joining with the Italian, Indian and Chinese communities for the development and promotion of business in Canada," said German Castano, chamber president and chair, at the awards announcement at the World Trade Centre in downtown Toronto.

The pre-selection process is under the supervision of the THCC Business Advisory Board and the due diligence will be conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers with the support of Centennial College.

The winners of the Canadian Hispanic Business Awards will be announced March 25 at the World Trade Centre, 1 First Canadian Place.
