Welcome to the Wallaceburg & District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. We are doing things very differently this year; but the spirit remains the same. We are honouring those who have endeavoured to make our community a better place to live, work, and play. Our community has always risen to the challenge of a difficult situation and 2020 is no different. We are made up of teams of people who persevere, innovate, and succeed – but we also care about our neighbours and freely offer our help when possible. This is an amazing community and it is only possible with each of your contributions every day. It deserves celebrating.

On behalf of the board of directors, we extend our congratulations to all our nominees. What you have brought to our community is truly noteworthy and we all thank you for it. Your efforts really make our corner of the world the place to be. The Business Excellence Awards week is about recognizing your amazing work. We also extend our thanks to all those who were not nominated but continue to tirelessly work throughout. Your time will come.


— Eric Van Damme, Chair


Wallaceburg is a great community to live, work & play, there are many volunteers & businesses that have gone above the call of duty to help & assist others especially during this challenging year. I know that businesses have had many challenges, I understand what it takes for small business owners to survive,. The week of the Wallaceburg Business & Community Excellence Awards is about recognizing those businesses & individual people for great contributions to this wonderful community, the hard work, dedication & commitment of our nominees is greatly appreciated. I am so proud of the work of all our nominees and so happy & excited that we were able to bring something positive to our community. Congratulations to all the nominations and winners, in my book you are all winners!
