The finalists have been announced, and we now know which businesses, individuals and organizations are in the running for the 33rd Annual Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.
The three finalists in each of the 10 categories were announced this morning via live Facebook from Total Restoration, this year's presenting sponsor.
The 2020 selection committee, comprised of ten business leaders, selected the finalists for each award category.
“We know these were tough decisions, as we had such great nominations,” said Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce president Nicole Clark.
A total of 126 nominations came in, with 92 nominees in each of the 10 award categories.
“Congratulations to all the nominees. The very fact that you were nominated means that people you serve believe in you and your business should be recognized for your excellence,” said Clark. “During this very challenging year I have been so impressed with the innovation, determination and pure heart that our business community has demonstrated.”
