The 2024 CBEA Awards received a truly incredible number of nominations this year, recognizing an incredible range of businesses, individuals, and service groups that continue to shape and strengthen our community.
Every nominee represents dedication, innovation, and commitment to the Bulkley Valley, and we want to thank each and every person who took the time to submit nominations to highlight these remarkable contributors.
The CBEA Awards serve as a unifying celebration of the incredible achievements of our local entrepreneurs, businesses, and community organizations. These nominees showcase outstanding service, leadership, and economic impact, proving that even in changing times, the spirit of our community remains strong.
While only three finalists will be selected in each category, every nominee deserves recognition for their hard work and positive contributions. A special thank you to the independent selection committee for their time, energy, and commitment to thoroughly reviewing all nominees before making their final decisions.
Stay tuned as we move forward in the selection process, and congratulations to all the exceptional businesses and individuals who have been nominated this year!
