Business Awards

The Morden Chamber hosts an annual Awards Banquet where we recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of the business community. Nominations are submitted by the general public and evaluated by a committee. The Award categories changed in 2023 to include: Business Excellence Award; Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Community Builder of the Year Award. Within the Community Builder award there are three sub-categories: Business, Organization and Individual.
