It is with great pleasure that the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce congratulates and announces the recipients of the 18th Annual Business Excellence Awards held March 9 in Williams Lake.
The outstanding décor complimented the Fabulous Fifties theme.
It was a grand feast held in a transformed Elks hall catered by the Ramada and the feast set the stage for another highly successful awards evening.
Entertainer Rod Boss had everyone amazed with his magical skills and created an upbeat feeling which carried through to the impressive academy style awards held after.
Dale Taylor of the Wolf and the Rush, MC this year and accompanied by Charlene Harrison second vice-president and chair of the awards for the chamber were front and centre on stage to present all nine awards.
