Tickets are still available for the Best Business Awards gala presented by the Portage Chamber of Commerce. Executive Director Cindy McDonald says this annual event is a wonderful celebration of our outstanding businesses and our amazing community volunteers. McDonald notes the Chamber is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year, so they're inviting everyone to come out and help them enjoy that very special milestone. She adds this is the seventh year for the Best Business Awards gala, adding it's a chance to say thank you to so many incredible people in our community.

McDonald notes there'll be several surprises during the evening and hints that one of the biggest awards will actually be presented to two people this time around due to a tie for the first time in the history of the event. Tickets are seventy-five dollars and you can purchase yours by stopping by the Chamber office at 56 Royal Road North or by calling 204 857-7778. The gala will be held at the William Glesby Centre on November 24th and dinner will be catered by Bill's Sticky Fingers.
