The best of business in Yorkton is set to be honoured with the Celebrate Success Awards. Nominees were announced at a recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, says that the nomination process was a difficult one, as there are many strong businesses in the city and only so many finalist spots that can go around.
“I know that the judges had a really difficult time sorting through the 95 nomination packages they received. There are some really outstanding finalists today, but there are lots sitting on the table too who are just great businesses, and I hope they will apply next time.”
The Celebrate Success Awards will be held on April 21, tickets are available at the Chamber office.
“We hope that we have a really great turnout to support all of these businesses that have been nominated as finalists.”
