Canadian Business Hall of Fame Display, Brookfield Place
In 2009 Brookfield and JA Canada collaborated to establish a business history and CBHF installation in the lobby of Brookfield Place throughout the 161 and 181 Bay Street Buildings.
Our Companions and awards are featured through a series of banquettes with the purpose of highlighting the achievements of business leaders, showcasing their personas and stories to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders. In addition, the Canadian Business Hall of Fame has also promoted an appreciation of business history and how the past informs our future. The Business Archives are a physical location in Brookfield Place featuring an Iconic Heritage “Mosaic Mural”. Content selected through a committee to include a top twenty business events in Canada.
Aligned with the Brookfield lobby renovation, we are looking forward to creating a new modern installation by Fall 2025.
