The Wallaceburg and District Chamber of Commerce has announced the finalists for its 20th annual awards event.
This year the nominations were made by a committee who also served as the judging panel.
“We decided to run the awards a bit differently this year. We had a fabulous Nominations Committee which included a few, well-connected lifetime residents of the C-K community who wish to remain anonymous. Each member of this panel complimented each other in terms of the industries and areas of the community they were familiar with, and they each took these nominations very seriously.” Tammy Chouinard, Marketing and Membership Coordinator for the chamber, said in a release.
There was one award, which is new this year, that was nominated and voted on exclusively by the community, called the ChamberChoice Award. This award recognizes the best of the best when it comes to an individual who is dedicated to the Wallaceburg & District area. Nominees exemplify excellence through dedication, community leadership and achievements.
The following are the awards up for grabs, along with the nominees in each category.
Agricultural Award: Kerr Farm Market, Serkka Farms.
Technology Award: AarKel Tool & Die Inc., Jennen Family Farm Market, and Sydenham Current.
Environmental Award: Sydenham Field Naturalists and Walpole Island Heritage Centre.
Business of the Year: Oaks Retirement Village, Subway (Dave McCready), and Union Gas.
