Business awards first under chamber’s new name Blair Edwards
News - The nominations are in, and voting has already been fast and furious for the 2014 People’s Choice Business Awards. Only three days after the nominations closed on Jan. 6, the West Ottawa Board of Trade had received more than 5,000 votes for the list of 209 candidates. “There is a real broad range of businesses all
across Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn, so we’re really pleased,” said Rosemary Leu, the board’s executive director. “Last year’s total number of votes was 18,000, and that was a record; to have 5,000 votes in not even three days is incredible.” This is the first year the board of trade, formerly known as the Kanata Chamber of Commerce, will be hosting the awards under the banner of its new name.
Last September, the chamber voted to change its name to better reflect the geographical diversity of its members, who hail from Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata. Residents can vote online in each of the 23 categories, divided geographically in Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn, from now until Feb. 3 by visiting pcba.kanatachamber.com or westottawabot.com. The list of finalists for each category will
be announced a few days after voting closes on Feb. 3, with the winners announced at the awards’ gala, which will be held at the Brookstreet Hotel on Feb. 20. Television personality Kurt Stoodley has agreed to return this year as the event’s Master of Ceremonies. For more information about nominations or to purchase tickets, call 613-592-8343 or email rosemaryleu@kanatachamber.com.
