PINOY IN BUSINESS
FEATURED: NEGOSYANTE of the Month
Carmela Valles named Peterborough’s business citizen of the year
The owner of Peterborough’s only immigrant settlement service agency has been named the 2019 Business Citizen of the Year. Carmela Valles earned the prestigious title at the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards at Showplace Performance Centre Wednesday evening. She runs Carmela Valles Immigration Consulting and has dedicated her 30 years in Peterborough toward helping newcomers feel at home.
Valles, 50, said she was surprised of the win. “I was just doing my business quietly,” Valles said, humbly. The Filipino native moved to the city in 1990 to study at Trent University. That same year she met her husband, Ramon, who’s also from the Philippines. They have two kids, Katrina, 20, and Ben, 18. In 1994, she graduated with a bachelor of arts in sociology and international development studies.
