March 2016 Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce 2
Congratulations to Frank Dunn, owner of Frank Dunn Toyota and Frank Dunn Trailer Sales in Prince Albert. A long-time business owner in Prince Albert, Mr. Dunn is a deserving recipient of the Legacy Award for both his work in business and as a supporter of the local community.
Mr. Dunn, a former competitive athlete who studied commerce at the University of Calgary, came to Prince Albert as a child with his family in 1958. He is continuing his family’s legacy of entrepreneurship with his own businesses, including Frank Dunn Toyota and Frank Dunn Trailer Sales. You can learn more about Frank Dunn on Page 4 and by joining us March 24 at the annual Legacy Brunch at the Prince Albert Travelodge. Tickets are just $15 and we hope to see many of our members in attendance.
The Legacy Brunch will also feature the announcement of the finalists for the 26th Annual Samuel McLeod Business Awards. More than 25 finalists will be announced in 10 categories. This year’s event will see a new look for the awards program. After 25 years, we thought the logo and awards needed an update and we worked with Simon Idir, a local designer, to create a new look.
Finalists for the Samuel McLeod Business Awards will be announced March 24 at the annual Legacy Brunch.
The Samuel McLeod Business Awards will be held April 21. This year's awards event will see the unveiling of a new look for the awards as well. The final design will be kept under wraps until the awards gala April 21, but will continue to be a testament to the support and generosity of Samuel McLeod, one of Prince Albert's first community leaders.
Please join us Thursday, April 21 for the 26th Annual Samuel McLeod Business Awards as we celebrate the best in local business!
And, as we head into the 2016 Saskatchewan Provincial Election, we hope you will plan to attend the Chamber’s all-candidates’ forum, scheduled for March 22. All confirmed candidates from the ridings of Prince Albert Carlton, Prince Albert Northcote, Saskatchewan Rivers, Batoche and Rosthern Shellbrook have been invited to attend.
More details about all Chamber events, and those of our Chamber members, can always be found on our website at www.princealbertchamber.com.

March 2016 Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce 4
The Prince Albert & District Chamber of Commerce, together with the Samuel McLeod Business Awards com-
mittee, is pleased to announce that Frank Dunn has been named the 2015 Legacy Award recipient. A long-
time business owner in Prince Albert, Mr. Dunn will be recognized Thursday, March 24 at the annual Legacy
Brunch sponsored by Scotiabank and the Northern Lights Casino.
Moving from Victoria, BC, Frank Dunn came to Prince Albert as a child with
his family in 1958. The family came to Prince Albert to operate what became
known as McGavin’s Toastmaster Bakery, before branching out to take over
the Imperial Oil bulk station in 1965 and later, a trailer sales business. The
family also dabbled in other ventures, including milking machines and Suzuki
motorcycles before bringing the Toyota franchise to Prince Albert in 1971.
Frank Dunn Toyota remains one of only a handful of franchises across the
country that is still operated by the original family of owners.
In 1977, Frank Dunn Jr. returned to Prince Albert after studying at the
University of Calgary. A competitive diver, he won CIAUs and Nationals and
was named Athlete of the Year in 1975 at the University of Calgary. He was an
alternate Olympian diver for the 1976 Olympics. Over the years, Frank has
coached competitive diving and gymnastics in both Prince Albert and Calgary.
While his business locations changed a few times over the years, the Dunn family’s dedication to great service
and community support never has. Frank’s father was instrumental in the construction of the Frank J. Dunn
Pool, the city’s first indoor pool and diving tank.
A believer in making your community the best it can be, Frank Dunn has continued that support and was
instrumental in starting the annual Frank Dunn Triathlon, one of the country’s longest-running events. Mr.
Dunn was given the Builder Award by the Saskatchewan Triathlon Association in 2013 and was recognized in
2005 with the Keith Russell Award for his work as a gymnastics coach.
The annual Legacy Brunch will also feature the announcement of the finalists for the Samuel McLeod
Business Awards. More than 30 finalists in 10 categories will be recognized as part of the event. The 26th
Annual Samuel McLeod Business Awards Gala will be held April 21.
