Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a buffet dinner at 6 p.m. and the award ceremony starting at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets will be on sale for $35 each until April 5 by contacting the chamber office at 613-623-6817 or any member of the executive of the chamber. Tickets are not available at the door.

The chambers thank local people and businesses in advance for their participation.
