Congratulations to the 2019 Finalists & Recipients!

The 2019 Peterborough Business Excellence Awards, sponsored by Bell, were handed out at the awards ceremony at Showplace Performance Centre on October 16th, 2019.  

The event was presented by the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, and is designed to publicly recognize and honour local businesses who have demonstrated a passion for excellence.

In all, more than 50 businesses and individuals were profiled, with recipients announced live in 20 categories.

The Peterborough Chamber of Commerce also announced its annual Business Citizen of the Year recipient at the awards ceremony. As the Chamber of Commerce is a Business-to-Business organization, the role that a nominee for the Business Citizen of the Year Award has had in the Business Community is extremely important. The Chamber of Commerce also recognizes the importance of volunteerism within the broader community. The 2019 recipient is Carmela Valles! Carmela joins a long list of Business Citizens of the Year, who have all made a significant contribution to the community.
