Business Awards of Distinction
The Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction is a celebration of our business community. 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!
The Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction judging panel follow a strict judging process. Judges are selected on an annual basis, have no relationship with any of the nominees, do not hold any volunteer, or paid positions with the Greater Parkland Regional Chamber of Commerce, and will declare any conflict of interest prior to judging. The decision of the judging panel is final.
All information submitted is strictly confidential. All persons who may come in contact with a nomination, such as the Awards Coordinator and judges, are all bound by a confidentiality agreement.
Congratulations to all our winners and our finalists! We look forward to seeing your at our 2022 Business Awards of Distinction on Thursday, October 20th, 2022.

Congratulations to the 2020 Award Winners and Finalists!
The Business Awards of Distinction were restructured in 2020 due to public health orders and for the safety of all finalists and sponsors. The Chamber was able to visit each finalist at their business location to congratulate them on their accomplishments and present a basket of items that would have been present at the physical awards ceremony. We are proud of the Greater Parkland Region and their perseverance through an unimaginable year.
