Kimberley Business Excellence awards return January 14

The Kimberley Business Excellence Awards gala returns Saturday.

Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce will hand out 13 awards in categories like the Rising Star Award, Professional Services Award, and Business of the Year.

President Becky Warkentin says this is the first time an in-person edition of this event has been held since the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s going to be really good to just see everybody in-person,” Warkentin says. “And we have a great band playing, we’ve got Kootenay Lately playing in the evening. I think that’s pretty standard for the previous events, but it’s still nice to get out in public again now that all the restrictions have been lifted.”

She says it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the business community.

“We are trying to re-engage the community, and revitalize the business community and get more people out in support of all the fabulous business members that we have,” she says. “This is just a really great event to showcase them.”

The gala is happening at the Kimberley Conference Centre Saturday, dinner starts at 6:00 pm, the award show starts at 8:00 pm.
