The City of Cranbrook has been recognized by the BC Economic Development Association for its work in marketing innovation.
The city received the 2025 marketing innovation award at this year’s annual conference in Penticton.
The city was recognized for the Choose Cranbrook website which showcases community assets and opportunities.
Economic development officer Darren Brewer says the the website also highlights Cranbrook’s partnership with the ʔaq’am community and the Ktunaxa Nation.
“This award reflects the collaboration and local talent that continue to drive our economic development efforts,” said Brewer.
“I want to thank GENEX Marketing, who manage the site; Lukas Nemeth Films, who created the video content; Cranbrook Tourism, who led the Ktunaxa Homelands project and Sasha Bogdanovic from CityViz who run our Data Portal. This was a true team effort from start to finish.”
Gregg Berg of Kootenay Employment Services also came away with an award, winning Community Resilience Award for the rural economic development program.
“Bringing home two of the ten provincial awards is something our entire community can be proud of,” said Mayor Wayne Price.
“It’s recognition of the hard work happening across Cranbrook to build a stronger, more resilient economy locally.”
