VERNON – The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the nomination period for the Annual Business Excellence Awards is now open. Nominations can be submitted through the Chamber`s website at www.vernonchamber.ca until Friday January 6, 2017.

This year`s theme is Birthdays, Balloons and Black Ties and builds off the excitement from last year`s gala.

“We’re really excited about the plans for the Gala and know it will be another fantastic evening of celebration as we recognize a variety of businesses, organizations and individuals for their outstanding achievements,” says Dan Rogers, general manager with the Greater Vernon Chamber.
The Excellence Awards are scheduled for Friday March 10, 2017 at the Vernon Lodge and will feature different awards ranging from Tourism Excellence to Community Leader of the Year. All the finalists in each of the categories will be considered for the much coveted “Business of the Year.”
The Sponsor for the Business of the Year is BDC – Business Development Bank of Canada.
The Nominee’s Luncheon goes Tuesday Feb. 7, 2017 at the Prestige Hotel.
