Awards of Excellence

Awards of Excellence Gala

The  Awards of Excellence recognize and celebrate growth and success in the Municipality. These Awards shine a spotlight on success stories of local businesses, organizations, volunteers, and individuals, who contribute to the growth of the South Dundas community.

Show your support by nominating a favourite South Dundas business, organization, or individual(s), or shine a spotlight on your business by self-nominating.

When completing a nomination and you are in doubt about which details to include, remember that when faced with applications that equally satisfy the criteria, judges will ask “why should this business/organization/person win an award this year? Highlight any notable or recent accomplishments that the business/organization/person has achieved as part of your nomination.
