The five judges spent a full day reviewing the entries and making their assessments.
Each judge gave their completed ballot to the awards monitor, a representative from KPMG, who recorded each judge’s vote.
“Each finalist has had to meet or exceed a high standard of excellence in order to be deemed worthy of an award,” said Patsy Bourassa, CHBA-Central Interior's executive officer.
Tickets for the Gala are now available and can be purchased from the CHBA CI office by calling 250-828-1844.
