Business Awards of Distinction
NOMINATIONS CLOSED - AUGUST 31, 2023. Thank you, the Chamber has received an overwhelming response and received a significant number of nominations across all categories.
The Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction is a celebration of our business community. This year we are hosting our Business Awards of Distinction on October 19th at Elks Social Hall in Spruce Grove. Over the years, we have recognized the high standards our entrepreneurs bring to business and our awards evening takes our celebration to great heights as we let our congratulations soar in honour of our nominees and awards winners. The Greater Parkland Regional Chamber awards program acknowledges local excellence annually along with Chambers across Canada during Small Business Week. It all started out as a community gathering to recognize exceptional businesses and individuals, something that we still do today!
