The voting is done and the people have spoken.
Nominees for the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce 21st Annual Business Awards have been chosen.
A large number of businesses and individuals were nominated this year, and according to Claudia Blair, Executive Director for the Chamber of Commerce, there were two categories that received quite a few.
“We saw more people nominated in the community booster category and the other category that had a lot more nominations was the greatest improvement which is very significant for economic times being as they are.”
The winners will be announced March 6th when the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce holds their 21st Annual Business Awards Dinner.
