Port Moody announces the winners of the 2017 Spike Business Awards at City Hall gala
At a gala held at City Hall October 19, 2017, Port Moody recognized local businesses that wowed residents in a variety of ways, from their street appeal and great customer service to their business spirit and environmental leadership.
“This year, we received a record 957 nominations for 132 businesses in eight categories,” said Councillor Diana Dilworth, Chair of the Economic Development Committee. “Our residents are enthusiastic about our local businesses, and it’s easy to understand why. Port Moody businesses really listen to their customers and get involved in the community, and the Spike Business Awards are a great way to recognize all their hard work.”
“Congratulations to all the nominees and winners for 2017,” said Mayor Mike Clay. “Our local businesses are dedicated to serving their customers and making Port Moody an even better place to live, work, and shop. It’s important to celebrate their success, because our small and home-based businesses contribute to the sense of community that makes Port Moody such a unique and amazing place.”
