Presented by The Rotary Club of Oakville West with the support of the Oakville Chamber of Commerce, these awards recognize local businesses not only for the invaluable contribution they make to the town's economic development, but for their role as models of excellence. Nominations will be accepted until Dec. 15, via the web site at www.oabe.ca. All nominations will be evaluated by a panel of judges in the new year. Businesses that are nominated are asked to agree to participate and to supply answers to a number of basic questions that help the judges in their deliberations. The categories are as follows: · Oakville Entrepreneur of the Year · Oakville Restaurateur of the Year · Oakville Small Business of the Year · Oakville Large Business of the Year · Oakville Professional and Service Provider of the Year · Oakville Environmental Leadership Business of the Year "Not only does the awards program honour top businesses in our community, it is also a valuable fundraiser. The funds raised are vital to the Rotary Club of Oakville West's youth initiatives," said Bill Ford, chair of this year's OABE organizing committee. The 15th gala will be held on April 8, 2010 at the Oakville Conference and Banquet Centre. For more details on the award categories, please visit www.oabe.ca.
