Finalists announced for 2014 Nova Awards

Timmins, ON—Nearly 40 local businesses and organizations have been named as finalists for the Timmins Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Nova Business Excellence Awards, the region’s biggest celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.

A panel of six independent community judges narrowed more than 100 nominations down to three finalists in 14 categories, each representing some of the best and brightest of Timmins’ business community. They will be celebrated at the Nova Awards’ gala evening, to be held at the McIntyre Arena on May 22.

Now in its 12th year, the awards gala recognizes the best of Timmins business. This history of local excellence continues to be reflected in the caliber of this year’s nominees, according to Phil Barton, President of the Timmins Chamber of Commerce.

“Timmins is home to some incredibly innovative businesses and passionate entrepreneurs, which shines through the impressive nominations that we received,” said Barton.

“It says a great deal about the community to see this year’s finalists include so many fantastic companies from so many different sectors, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements on May 22.”

This year’s Nova Awards will feature a “garden party” theme, which recognizes not only the season but also how local businesses help to grow Timmins’ economy.

“The Nova Awards are really about recognizing companies that make Timmins a uniquely great place to succeed,” said Barton. “Our entrepreneurs are also our neighbors, and it’s crucial to note that they strengthen our economy while funding college scholarships, sponsoring sports teams, and providing jobs. We’re happy to help honour them, and that so many in the community are willing to join us in this celebration.”

Tickets to the gala event are $90 plus HST, or $75 plus HST for Chamber members; tables of 10 are available. Ticket reservations can be made via phone at (705) 360-1900, via email at info@timminschamber.on.ca, or by visiting the Chamber website at www.timminschamber.on.ca
