Instead, she insisted that the award by shared with Mandy Crawford and Joyce Cox, the other'two nominees.

"The method they are using ls notý a good one, " Irwin- said 'adding that shebelieved the award had ,.become- a contest which was flot the cham- ber's intention. "lIt was flot their in- tention to' make it a competition >and 'it-- shouldn't be one," she said. Inaà written statement Smith said that. the chamber realizes there are somne problems but this does not mean that they no longer'support it. "The Whitby Chem- ber of Commerce sup-> ports the concept of the Peter Perry Award and will continue to do so," he said.
