Each year, the program brings the community together to celebrate the people, places, and services that make Kamloops stand out. From your go-to coffee shop and trusted mechanic to standout professionals and community leaders, this is your chance to help them get the recognition they deserve.
Nominations play a key role in the process, helping determine which businesses move on to the voting round. The top nominees in each category will advance for a chance to earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze in one of the city’s most recognized awards programs.
After a strong response from the community last year, another exciting round of nominations is expected as locals rally behind their favourites.
