Picture

The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the winners of the 2020 Greater Victoria Business Awards.
The winners distinguished themselves in many categories and many ways, including excellent customer service, sustainable business practices, emerging professionals and non-profit association of the year. 

From start-ups to local legends, The Chamber’s 2020 Greater Victoria Business Awards showcase hard-working entrepreneurs, business people and community leaders in 14 categories worth celebrating.

Winners were chosen by an independent panel of prominent business leaders who served as judges. This marks the first year the event has been held as a televised broadcast (premiering at 6 p.m., Sept. 19, on CHEK).
