The executive director with the Morden and District Chamber of Commerce says nominations are open for the 2017 Chamber Awards Gala held later this year.

Candace Olafson states the categories for this year's chamber awards are Business of the year, entrepreneur of the year, and not-for-profit of the year.

"This will be the eighth awards gala that we'll be having," says Olafson. "It's just a really great way to honour local business' and give them a pat on the back for what they do in our community."

The nomination period will be open until September 5th and the winners will be announced at the Gala later this year.

If you would like to nominate a business or organization for this gala you can contact the Chamber of Commerce.
