An event will be held on Friday to honour the contributions of one man to his community.
Accent Chartered Professional Accountants will officially name their office in Dauphin “The Allard Building”.
Managing Partner Howard Wirch says the idea to pay George this tribute has been in the works for a number of years.
“We wanted to honour his legacy to the firm in a way that would be permanent. So an idea came out of a brainstorming session with our team here at Accent, to honour him by putting his name on the building, and calling it The Allard Building,” he said.
Wirch says it will be a brief and relatively small event at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 26, and held outside to promote safe physical distancing.
“George has had an impact on many many people in this community for a number of years. We thought it would be quite appropriate to honour his years of service to the community, and to our office specifically, by doing this,” Wirch said.
George will be on hand Friday alongside his closest friends and family — including long time friend Mayor Allen Dowhan -- for the dedication and official naming of the building.
