The North Vancouver Chamber’s annual Business Excellence Awards on November 20 was a resounding success, with a sold-out crowd gathering for an unforgettable evening of celebration, networking, and inspiration. Local business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members came together to honour the outstanding achievements within our business community.
The night was filled with powerful stories of perseverance and success, showcasing the exceptional talents and contributions of award recipients. Guests enjoyed meaningful connections, with many leaving the event motivated by the inspiring stories shared and the support offered by fellow industry peers.
The Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier ballroom was transformed into a serene forest setting, with elements of nature woven throughout the decor, inspired by our natural landscape, while the event’s theme reflected our mission to Support, Connect, and Lead the local business community.
