The Awards
The Small Business BC Awards is British Columbia’s largest awards competition dedicated exclusively to small businesses. What started as a simple business plan contest in 2003 has grown to an incredible opportunity for nominees to learn, secure financial support, gain valuable exposure, and share stories with a supportive community across the province. Across 20 years of our Awards, over 6,000 small businesses have participated, covering every industry in our province.
