Business Achievement Awards
Each year the Orillia District Chamber of Commerce recognizes the achievements of local entrepreneurs, businesses, and non-profits with its Business Achievement Awards. Any local business or non-profit group can nominate themselves or be nominated, and winners are determined by a vote open to Chamber members. The awards are presented at a Gala-style ceremony that is typically held in February or March.
The Business Achievement Awards Ceremony is also an important fundraiser for the Chamber. Sponsorships help cover costs associated with the ceremony and the awards themselves, and any additional proceeds help support the Chamber's business advocacy initiatives.
