Fernie’s Chamber of Commerce has opened up nominations for the 2023 Business Excellence Awards.
“We acknowledge that local businesses, entrepreneurs, and community groups dedicate their time to growing their businesses, creating jobs, innovating, building community, and making Fernie an excellent place to work, live and play,” said Fenrie Chamber officials.
The nomination period runs until Aug 17 at 11:59 p.m., with 12 categories available.
“The 2023 Fernie Business Excellence Awards is a time to celebrate these accomplishments and those that have contributed in a meaningful way to our local economy, community, and social wellbeing,” said the Fernie Chamber of Commerce. “Please join us in recognizing these businesses, organizations, and local legends by taking part in our online nomination survey.”
After the survey period, nominee forms will be sent out to the selected businesses, organizations and individuals which will help a panel of judges determine the winners.
Two categories will be a little different, however.
“Exceptions to this process are Citizen of the Year and the Chamber Legacy Award – which are both judged by the Fernie Chamber board of directors,” said Fernie Chamber officials. “Businesses and organizations nominated in all categories will be on the ballot for the People’s Choice award that the public will vote on in September.
The awards will be announced on Thursday, Oct 12 at the Best Western Fernie.
