January 10, 2012 – It will be beads, jazz and a night in the „Big Easy‟ as the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce presents Cornwall‟s, „Meet us on Bourbon Street‟. Colourful and musical with a fabulous New Orleans flavour, it will be an evening not to be missed.

“2012 will be the 24th straight year the Chamber has presented the Business Excellence Awards banquet” declares Chamber President, Rick Shaver. “What‟s even more impressive is that this year, we select the 40th Citizen of the Year and that individual will join with dozens of other distinguished citizens who have given so much to our community.”

The event is planned for Saturday, February 25 and once again, the Nav Centre will be the location for the affair. “The Nav Centre team were outstanding as they worked with us to create a spectacular banquet hall” reports Amy Malyon, Assistant Executive Manager and banquet coordinator. “Coupled with an excellent meal and impeccable service, we heard nothing but favourable comments from the hundreds of business professionals in attendance.”
The 2012 banquet begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail reception followed by the banquet itself. Throughout the evening there will be all kinds of entertainment to enchant those in attendance capped off by the naming of the various award winners.

Tickets are available from the Chamber at $105.00 + HST.

Malyon urges people to submit nominations for the various categories as soon as possible. “The deadline is Friday, January 20 and nomination details for each of the awards can be found on the Chamber‟s web site at www.cornwallchamber.com.”
