KAMLOOPS – It’s time to celebrate the trailblazers, change-makers, and community champions who power our region. The Kamloops & District Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with MNP LLP, is thrilled to announce that nominations are now open for the 39th Annual Business Excellence Awards.
From the scenic slopes of Sun Peaks to the spirited ranchlands of Pritchard, the Thompson-Nicola Region is home to an incredible mix of entrepreneurs, visionaries, and leaders who help define the heart of our community. This is your chance to recognize those making an impact, whether they’re building something new, driving innovation, or creating positive change.
