Community Achievement Awards are a staple event in chambers across the country. The ceremonies provide an avenue to celebrate communities and the people who live there, as well as providing economic benefits.

“The chamber awards are important to a community because they recognize and celebrate the achievements of local businesses, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment,” said chamber president, Chris Turcotte.

“These awards highlight the positive contributions of businesses, encouraging higher standards and inspiring other enterprises to strive for excellence. They also enhance the visibility of successful businesses, which can attract new customers and investments to the area. Ultimately, these awards help strengthen the local economy and build a more vibrant, connected community.”

Nominations can be made on-line by visiting www.kincardinechamber.com and then clicking on the CAA link. An identical link will be found on the Kincardine chamber Facebook and Instagram pages. Nominations will remain open until Aug. 9 at 5 p.m. A panel of judges from outside of the area, with no connection to the nominees, will choose the winners in each category.
