2024 Chamber Awards

2024 chamber awards gala

Since 1974, the Comox Valley Chamber Awards​ has recognized the accomplishments of businesses, organizations, and individuals who have contributed greatly to make the Comox Valley an amazing community. Award categories have been added and retired, expanded and revisited, but the Chamber Awards have always been about excellence and service.

Through our grassroots nomination process, we could not be more proud of the caliber of nominations submitted by community businesses and individuals. With so many quality and community minded nominees to be recognized, our judging panel had a most challenging role this year when narrowing down our finalists.

Winners will be announced Saturday, January 25 at the Florence Filberg Centre,
