“We are thrilled to be planning and hosting the BBEX awards program again this year,” BBEX committee co-chair Samantha Swanson said in the release.

“It is always so great to celebrate the business community, see them come together and receive recognition for their contributions and hard work.”

The committee is planning an in-person banquet and gala celebration for Nov. 5 in North Battleford.

Residents can submit nominations through the chamber’s website by selecting the “Celebrating 32 Years BBEX Business Excellence” logo and completing the online nomination form.
