COMOX VALLEY – Each year the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) presents the Annual Community Awards in January. This year’s Annual Awards Gala is on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at the Florence Filberg Centre in downtown Courtenay.
The gala features a champagne reception, a sit-down gourmet dinner, an Academy Awards-style video presentation of all award finalists, and a not-to-be missed silent auction. This year’s Chamber awards will leave you shaken not stirred with a James Bond theme.
Thank you to our sponsors the Comox Valley Record and 97.3 The Eagle and to our award sponsors many whom have been supporting this community event for years. We consider them the foundation of the event’s success.
For 42 years, the Chamber has celebrated the community in recognizing businesses, organizations, and persons that exemplify the very best of the Comox Valley at the Chamber’s Annual Community Awards. Nominations for fourteen award categories poured in to the Chamber office and three finalists were chosen for each award celebrating the best and brightest for 2016 in the Comox Valley.
Visit the Chamber website for more information on available tickets and a list of all the remarkable finalists.
