Plans are underway for the 23rd annual Battlefords Business Excellence Awards later this fall. The BBEX awards recognize excellence in the Battlefords business community. There are going to be very few changes from last year’s event. Nominations are now open in the categories of New Business Venture, Customer Service, Marketing, Micro Business, Heritage, Community Contribution, Battlefords’ Best Employer and Business of the Year. The awards program will continue with the new process for naming Business of the Year, the marquee category of the BBEX Awards program. As was introduced last year, one business from the entire finalist list in the six open categories will be selected for that award and announced at the event. Continued on Page 3
