Congratulations to Larry Bannerman, recipient of the 2026 Bruce Power Citizen of the Year Award! 👏
This award recognizes an area resident whose outstanding commitment to community service has made a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
We’re proud to celebrate Larry, along with all of this year’s Kincardine & District Chamber of Commerce Community Achievement Award recipients and nominees, for the contributions they make to our community.
Congratulations! 🎉
What a fantastic evening we had last night celebrating business, organizations and volunteerism in our community at the 2026 Kincardine & District Chamber of Commerce COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS!
We received over 100 nominations from members of the public over our 15 award categories! The top three finalists were determined in each category, with the award recipients chosen by judges from Chambers in other southern Ontario communities.
Based on our outstanding nominees they must have truly had a difficult job! Congratulations to everyone who was nominated!
Thank to the members of the Chamber awards committee, our hosts Ainsdale Golf Course, our community partners, and all of our award and event sponsors. This event could not happen without your support!
