Business of the Year,more than 15 employees

Canadian Tire MissionPRESENTED BY YOUR COMMUNITY CREDIT UNIONS

Mission’s Canadian Tire commits to employee programs and customer service initiatives that make them a success in the local business community. This has provided the organization with the funds, time and tools to give back to the community. Not only are they instrumental in organizing events at the Junction, they also participate in local events and initiated the Mission Jumpstart event day, allowing kids in � nancial need to participate in sports and recreation. Recently Canadian Tire signed on to Mission’s social media interactive game “Legend Tracker.”

As part of Small Business Month, the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce hosts the Business Excellence. Held

in the Ballroom of the Mission Best Western on Oct. 19, the gala was attended by the who’s who of the Mission business community.

Presented by Your Community Credit Unions, this year’s awards were led by Canadian Tire Mission, who won three of the eight awards. “This is no easy feat,” remarked Chamber Manager Michelle Favero. “Each award is judged by a panel of three judges that score independent of each other. In Canadian Tire’s case, they faced nine different judges.”

Other event highlights included a delicious meal of lamb and Cornish hen served up by Rockwell’s Bar & Grill chef Chris, who delighted attendees with his family’s famous chocolate pate for desert. MC Brian Antonson, president of the 2014 BC Winter Games and retired dean of communications at BCIT had only one unfortunate slip-up when he referred to the Legend Tracker Sasquatch as “junior.” It is believed that the Sasquatch has gone into hiding, but might be located somewhere in Downtown Mission.

The Mission Regional Chamber would like to congratulate all nominees and thank the sponsors that made the event such a success.

Congratulations to the Winners!

You demonstrate excellence in business and we thank you for your valuable

contribution to prosperity in our community.
