AWARDS WERE PRESENTED IN FIVE CATEGORIES: • Future Leader: Mike Burnard, Three Marketing Inc. • Community Involvement: Derksen Printers/The Carillon • Business of the Year (Small Business category): Earls Meat Market • Business of the Year (Medium Business category): Derksen Printers/The Carillon • Customer Service: The LumberZone While winners in most categories were chosen by a selection committee, the public was also invited to vote online for the winner of the Customer Service Award.

Several commercial spaces are available for businesses now, or will be available in the near future. A new development called Park Place offers commercial space for small businesses in the heart of town. Another development, Park Avenue Crossing, will be a state- of-the-art shopping centre developed in three phases, with a healthy mix of both national and local restaurants, coffee shops, financial services and, in the long term, a grocery store as the main anchor. Regarding residential development, a shortage of housing and an aging population are factors drawing developers to invest in the area, and demand for housing is expected to increase over the next five years. The BBDC is pleased to invite you to participate in the first Regional Business Forum to be held on Feb. 25, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the Hilton Hotel in Winnipeg. Regional economic development will be the focus of this forum, showcasing the many strengths and business opportunities available within the Beausejour Brokenhead region.
