PRAIRIE SKY BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

 

 

Our annual WMBEXA event has been renamed the Prairie Sky Business Excellence Awards!

 

“Excellence is never an accident, it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and vision to see obstacles as opportunities.” Anonymous

 

In 2016, the business communities of Warman, Martensville, Osler and surrounding communities embraces this message by introducing the Business Excellence Awards to recognize the entrepreneurial passion, talent, dedication, and tireless efforts of our business communities.

 

Coming together to celebrate our resiliency and growth in a spirit of encouragement by highlighting our businesses annually has become the most prestigious event of the year.

2021 WMBEXA

 

Our business community faced unparalleled disruption and uncertainty in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  During these unprecedented times, we witnessed powerful stories of resilience, heart, grit, compassion, determination, and leadership.  Excellence in 2020 took on a whole new meaning and as such we transformed our 6th annual WMBEXA Gala, presented by Affinity Credit Union, to showcase and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and resiliency of the many businesses throughout our region.

At our virtual awards ceremony, we virtually honoured multiple businesses in each of our adapted categories, who demonstrated their ability to quickly adapt and respond to business disruptions in the face of the global pandemic and the economic hardship that it caused.
