Business Excellence Awards nominations open
Recognizing businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations successes and contributions to the local economy and our community
The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce 2016 Business Excellence Awards has kicked off with a call for nominations. Now in its 25th year, the awards represent the highest business honours in Cranbrook.
The 2016 BEA will culminate with the awards gala Saturday, April 2 at the St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino.
For the first time the awards evening will feature a dance following the ceremony. Renowned local band and recording artists The Black Diamond Band will keep the dance floor hopping to cap off a great evening.
Nominate a great business, individual or organization today. The Business Excellence Awards use a juried panel system to determine the award recipient. Multiple nominations are not necessary nor a determinant. Self-nomination is not only permitted but encouraged. If your organization is excellent please let us know.
