The Simcoe & District Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for its Annual Business Achievement Awards Gala.
We spoke with President Renee VanKooten about why, year after year, they continue to host this major event.
While many of the long-standing awards remain, the Chamber is always working to stay fresh and relevant with the evolving retail and business landscape.
Last year, they introduced the Stelco Legacy Award.
VanKooten shared details about a brand-new award being added for 2025.
While commercial business recognition is a key focus for the Chamber, it’s important to note that not every award is tied to financial success.
One of the highlights each year is the recognition of individuals who have made a meaningful impact in the community — through the Citizen of the Year and Youth Leader Awards.
This year’s gala will take place on Thursday, November 13th at the Delhi German Hall.
Nominations are open until Wednesday, October 15th at 5:00 p.m. Full details and nomination forms are available here.
