The Airdrie Regional Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce that nominations are now open for the Business Awards! This is your chance to recognize and celebrate the outstanding businesses and non-profits that make our community so great.

The Business Awards are an event held every fall to honour the best and brightest in Airdrie's business community. This year's gala will take place on October 24th, where Airdronians will gather to celebrate the finalists and announce the winners. But before we can get to the celebration, the nominees need to be chosen.

THE JUDGING PROCESS

A panel of esteemed business leaders from our community carries out the tough job of the judging process said Aalhus.

"They take on the challenging task of evaluating all nominations to select the top five businesses or the top non-profit in each category. While it's a tough job, it's also incredibly rewarding to see the breadth of talent and dedication in Airdrie."

Nominating a business or non-profit is a wonderful way to show your appreciation for their hard work and contributions to our community. It not only boosts their morale but also highlights their efforts to a broader audience. Plus, being nominated is a significant honour that can bring positive attention and recognition.

Aalhus also wanted to thank those who made the awards possible again this year.

"A big thank you to our presenting sponsor, Ellis Don, and all the other sponsors who make this event possible. Your support is invaluable in celebrating the excellence within our community."

To nominate a business, head over to Airdrie Chamber of Commerce's website and complete the nomination form. Remember, the deadline is the end of July, but we recommend getting your nominations in as soon as possible—June is a great time to do it before summer gets too busy.
