Business Awards of Distinction |
|
On January 27th we celebrated with businesses and organizations from across the region to rejoice in the successes of our local entrepreneurs. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to honour our business community and raise funds for a local non-profit.
Together we raised over $2000 for Tri-Region Pay Forward Kindness Society with items generously sponsored by Forest Green Liquor, Kiwi Nurseries Ltd., Mprint Sign and Print Solutions Inc., and Three B's Flowers! Thank you to Victor Moroz, Finalist Sponsor, who engaged the audience with his auctioneering skills to help raise these funds. A cheque presentation will take place at a later date and we would like to thank everyone for their generous donations.
Visit our website for more information on the winners.
