Celebrating Delta Business for 70 Years
Each November, the Chamber recognizes Delta businesses' exceptional work with an awards banquet called Hats Off to Excellence.
The 2021 celebrations took place on November 19 at Tsawwassen Springs Ballroom with a limited number of guests for Covid-19 safety. We look forward to the future when we can celebrate Delta's successful businesses and individuals with an event larger group of attendees!
