Know an entrepreneur or community player in Niagara-on-the-Lake you think deserves recognition for their hard work, innovation and leadership? The Chamber of Commerce would love to know all about them — and celebrate what they do to make NOTL a great place to live and work.

The annual Business Achivement Awards, formerly known as the Spirit Awards, are just around the corner, and the Chamber of Commerce is still accepting nominations for individuals, businesses and organizations the community would like to see receive recognition for contributing to the success and vibrancy of the town.

The nomination deadline has been extended to April 30 by the end of the day. The awards gala is scheduled for May 20, at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery.

Award categories include: Business of the Year, the Dan Patterson Awards for Entrepreneurial Spirit, the Celia Liu Award for Excellence in Hospitality and Tourism, the Christopher Newton Award for Arts and Culture, Outstanding Achievement in Agriculture, the Peter Ling Award for Community and Business Leadership, and the Lord Mayor’s Award of Excellence: Citizen of the Year.

Nominations can be submitted through the chamber’s website, at chambernotl.com/business-awards.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations interested in supporting the event.
