Kamloops asked to nominate their favourites

KAMLOOPS - The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and TD announced this week that the call for nominations has officially begun for the 2015 Business Excellence Awards.

“TD’s values of providing legendary customer experiences, and being an extraordinary place to work, align perfectly with the Business Excellence Awards and we are happy to once again be the Premier Sponsor of this important community event,” Lindy Baird, Branch Manager with TD, stated.

“It’s time for everyone to think about who they want to nominate,” Steve Earl, President of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, said.  “Anyone can nominate and any business can be nominated.  It only takes a couple of minutes, so make someone’s year by nominating your favourites!”

The complete list of the 17 award categories and their sponsors was unveiled at today’s kick off event, attended by past winners, sponsors and award committee members. 

This year, the Awards Committee is pleased to announce a new award category for Employer of the Year.  Employees are encouraged to nominate their employer for this one.
