Business Excellence Awards

Mission business will celebrate its trailblazers and leaders June 8 at Silverdale Community Hall with new awards and a new format. The awards previously celebrated in October, will be celebrated as part of the Mission Chamber’s 120^th year.

“We are going back to our roots,” notes Chamber President Sean Melia, “The Chamber in Mission was known for great community events like the Strawberry Festival and JC’s dinners so we thought we would bring back some of the nostalgia and head out to the historic Silverdale Hall.”

Businesses and organizations will be acknowledged for their entrepreneurialism, customer service, local focus and community building. New also to this year in the President’s Award, commending an unsung business who exemplifies community spirit.
