Annual Community Awards

Honouring our community's best

Since 1974 the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce has supported the community in recognizing their very best at the Comox Valley Annual Community Awards. While the award categories have changed over the years, the one thing that has remained constant is the high caliber of nominees and award recipients. Without a doubt the Comox Valley is home to some pretty amazing citizens and businesses. Consider nominating for the 2012 awards - the nomination form will be availalbe on this site in November 2012, with the award ceremony being held on January 26, 2013.
