Press Release – March 21, 2022 Albert County Chamber of Commerce to Host its 5th Annual Business Excellence Awards After two years of virtual events, the Albert County Chamber of Commerce is excited to present the Fifth Annual Business Excellence Awards live and in person at Broadleaf Ranch on May 14, 2022. Historically, the event celebrates the history of our community and honoured the many things that have traditionally made our region exceptional, however, given the recent challenges faced by so many in our business community, this year, the event will look a little different. Chamber President, Annick Robichaud Butland, owner of ABConnect, says “Now more than ever we believe it is time to recognize where we are in the present, celebrate our success, and look towards the future. This year’s theme, The Albert County Transformation, celebrates how we as a County are moving into a period of revitalization and rejuvenation. We are stepping forward out of the past couple years of changes and trials, a group of people undefeated by the challenges we have faced. In fact, through the ingenuity, flexibility, and acumen of so many, we emerge stronger, more determined, and more ready than ever to thrive and prosper, looking ahead towards the amazing opportunities change and challenge have brought us.” The Albert County Chamber of Commerce is all about promoting economic and commercial prosperity in Albert County. Since 1998, this organization has steadily worked towards these goals and, like our County, has relied on the strength of its roots to transform into a strong and stable organization that is positioning itself for future growth and advancement. Chamber services and Board of Directors bring a uniquely regional, multi-focus, and interdisciplinary approach to both represent and serve the businesses and organizations in our greater community and provincially. This year’s Awards Ceremony is a true celebration. “This event is a gift the Chamber of Commerce wants to give to the economic drivers of our county, our businesses,” says Tosh Taylor, Chamber Director, Media Personality, Host, and Podcast Producer, “Its goal is to show them we honour their work and contributions.” At this year’s Awards Gala, in addition to handing out our signature awards provided by Glass Roots, the Chamber will be offering a beautiful four course meal that highlights culinary masters from one end of the county to the other. A variety of local music, featuring Markoshi Creative, door prizes, and a special presentation by Kevin Snair highlighting his journeys through Antarctica, will be additional features of the event, as well as a live auction featuring the products, works, and services of Albert County Businesses. Awards will be featured in the following categories: Business of the Year, Non-profit of the Year, Emerging Business of the Year, Tourism Excellence Award, Albert County Artistic Excellence, Community Care & Service, and the People’s Choice nominated and voted on by the community.
