The announcement of those that will move on to the public voting process will be made as part of the Nominees Reception from 6 to 9 PM on Tuesday, January 24th at the North Coast Meeting and Convention Centre.
The list of nominees for the first round were collected through December as residents of the North Coast submitted those businesses and services that have made an impression on them over the course of the last year.
The expansive list of nominees in fifteen categories provides a view of the cross section of business options available in the city, with 32 nominees found in the Customer Service category alone.
A quick snap shot of what residents of the North Coast think of some of those that have been nominated can be found from the Chamber of Commerce website which has a collection of comments here.
A look at those in the running to make it to the short list and on towards the voting process looks like as follows:
