Sparwood Chamber of Commerce celebrates best and brightest of business and community

What a great night celebrating our local businesses!

The 2026 Business Excellence Awards brought our business community together for an evening of recognition, celebration and some well-deserved appreciation.

A huge congratulations to all of this year’s nominees and award recipients (see below).  We have so many incredible businesses and individuals in Sparwood, and it’s always special to have the opportunity to recognize the hard work, dedication and heart they put into our community.

Thank you to our sponsors, presenters, volunteers and everyone who joined us to make the evening such a success. We couldn’t do it without you!

And of course, thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for their favourite local businesses. Your support means so much.

Congratulations again to our 2026 Business Excellence Award recipients!

Voters commended his service with the Sparwood Fire Department, his leadership as the volunteer coordinator for the Sparwood Trails Alliance, and his willingness to perform music at local events like Coal Miner Days and the Sparwood Market. Nominators also highlighted his neighbourly initiative, such as securing “slow down children playing” safety signs for local streets, praising his uplifting attitude, pride in the community, and constant effort to leave Sparwood better than he found it.
