The Moose Jaw Heritage Inn’s conference hall was filled almost to overflowing with more than 400 people in attendance for the Awards Gala, and an air of relief and happiness at sharing the space without public health restrictions was present throughout.
The Wednesday, April 27 banquet and awards ceremony was the 20th year for the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards (MJBEX), which celebrate the achievements of Moose Jaw businesses in 15 categories.
Fifty-nine businesses were nominated. As each award winner was announced, a video reaction reel from nominated businesses was played. Awards were presented by the individual sponsors.
The night was sold out.
The full list of nominees is below, with winners in bold. Two awards, for business leader of the year and business of the year, do not open for nominations.
The business leader of the year is chosen by the Chamber board.
Business of the year is awarded to the business with the highest number of points across all categories.
The People’s Choice Award is open to the public and goes to the nominee with the most upvotes within a certain period.
