And the winners are?

This is the last week to purchase tickets for the Sooke Business Excellence Awards gala, hosted by the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce.

“I’m thrilled to share that we’ve received an overwhelming number of nominations for this year’s awards,” said Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce executive director Deb Schenk. “It’s truly an honour to have so many fabulous businesses recognized by our community. The comments we’ve received have been wonderful, highlighting the outstanding work done by these businesses.”

Everyone is welcome to attend the event, which celebrates the success of local businesses and entrepreneurs in a number of different categories, including two new ones.

“We’re separating the hospitality and dining category, and adding an artisan category,” she said. “You won’t want to miss the incredibly talented West Coast Cabaret and the hilarious Kevin Banner, our very own local celebrity.”

“Last year’s event was a great success enjoyed by the whole community,” Schenk said. “We’ve decided to kick it up a notch with delicious hors d’oeuvres and mouthwatering desserts from Village Foods. It’s going to be fantastic.”

Tickets cost $35 and can be purchased at Eventbrite or sookeregionchamber.com.
