On May 19, the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce hosted its Business Excellence awards to a sold-out crowd at the Victoria Inn & Convention Centre. The event was created to celebrate businesses and their achievements, their commitment to excellence and their contributions to the economic growth of west Winnipeg. The nominees selected by community members were all deserving of their recognition, and in most cases, the winner was determined by a single point.
Each award winner has created a notable impact through the management of a business operation or non-profit organization, and all exemplify innovation, excellent service practices, and all have made remarkable contributions to the economic health of West Winnipeg.
