An impressive 62 Cranbrook business and organizations have been nominated for a 2016 Business Excellence Award in 11 different categories.

“The depth and breadth of nominations across the categories this year is really quite impressive,” said Chamber Executive Director David D. Hull. “It really demonstrates the quality and diversity of our business community.”

For the second year the Business Excellence Awards nominees will be adjudicated in a juried panel system. “We have a three person panel conducting interviews in a preformatted manner,” said Hull. “We are confident that the nominees will really enjoy their time with the panel and appreciate the opportunity to expand and discuss their individual businesses and organizations.”

Award recipients will be announced as part of the Business Excellence Awards gala evening Saturday, April 2 at the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino.

This year the gala will wrap up with a dance to local recording artists and renowned performers The Black Diamond Band.

“Last year there was so much fun and energy in the room that is seemed like more was wanted at the end so this year we are going to dance the night away to one of the best bands in the Kootenays,” said Hull, encouraging gala attendees to secure their tickets early as the capacity is capped at 230 and with so many nominees tickets will be in demand for what is certain to be an early sold out event.
