Kitimat Celebrates 2026 Business Excellence Awards Winners

Congratulations to all the nominees, finalists and winners of the 2026 Business Excellence Awards!

Held at the Royal Canadian Legion, this year’s event was a wonderful success, bringing together Kitimat’s business community to connect, celebrate achievements and recognize the people who help make our community thrive.

The Kitimat Chamber of Commerce believes every local business is a winner. From small, home-based businesses to established companies, each plays an important role in supporting our local economy, creating jobs and serving residents day in and day out. Your dedication, resilience and commitment to Kitimat do not go unnoticed.

As this is my final Business Excellence Awards press release, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the business community I have had the privilege of working alongside. It has been an honour to celebrate your accomplishments and be part of your stories. Thank you for your support, your contributions and the difference you make in our community.
