Clarke retired in March and his successor will be introduced next Monday.
At Thursday’s business after hours at the Bruce Steakhouse, Chair Sadie Al (in photo on left with Clarke) announced that the new Downtown Ambassador Award will be named after Clarke.
Clarke says it is wonderful to be given this honour.
Clarke says he is thankful of the appreciation he has received from the businesses he represents, and hopes the next 11 years will be as good as the 11 he spent as the BIA manager.
