The Grande Prairie and District Chamber of Commerce continued its Small Business Week with the presentation of the 2024 Chamber Awards of Distinction.
Nominees were submitted from the community and businesses supplied information online. The Chamber says a selection committee scored each category based on criteria for each individual award to determine this year’s recipients.
Nine awards were given out to several local businesses with Aztec Engineering taking home the Small Business of the Year award for companies with more than 10 employees, while Koolios brought home the same award in the under 10 employees category.
Hi-Tech Business Systems was recognized as the Legacy Business award recipient, and Cedar Chartered Professional Accountants Corporation won the Young Entrepeneur award.
Other award winners include Carlson and Company o/a The Work Place for Diversity and Inclusion, Resource Centre for Suicide Prevention for making the “Greatest Impact,” Koolios with the Emerging Business award, Sideworx Connect for Marketing, and The Homestead with the Leading Edge award.
