“This year, we received a record 1,142 nominations for 137 businesses in eight categories,” said Councillor Diana Dilworth, Chair of the Economic Development Committee. “The Spike Business Awards are a wonderful way to recognize local business owners and operators who embrace creativity and innovation, and strive for excellence in customer service.”
