Celebrating Delta Businesses Since 1952!
About the Business Excellence Awards
Each year, the Delta Chamber of Commerce celebrates the outstanding businesses, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who help make Delta a thriving place to live, work, and do business through the annual Business Excellence Awards Gala.
Recognized as one of Delta’s premier business events, the Gala brings together business and community leaders to honour the innovation, dedication, leadership, and community spirit that drive our local economy forward. Finalists and award recipients are celebrated for their achievements and contributions across the federal electoral district of Delta, including the City of Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our Presenting Sponsor, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, and to the many businesses and individuals who make this event what it is each year by sponsoring, donating auction prizes, volunteering their time & talents, and by choosing to celebrate the excellence of our local business community together with us.
