December 3, 2022 – RDÉE PEI: Eleven finalists from the Souris, Montague, Charlottetown, Rustico and Evangeline regions will be competing for five Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards from the Acadian and Francophone Chamber of Commerce of PEI (CCAFLIPE) and RDÉE Prince Edward Island at the 2023 Entrepreneurs’ Gala on March 11 in Abram-Village.
Pierre Gallant, spokesperson for the CCAFLIPE, proudly announced the names of the finalists, which he considers his “favorite job” of the year, at the organisation’s Christmas celebration in Summerside Friday, Dec. 2. He admitted that the Chamber did not receive as many nominations as expected because it would like to have at least three nominations per category to make the competition more interesting.
He feels there are still plenty of potential candidates for all the awards but they need to be nominated.
“This year we wanted to put particular emphasis on sustainable development.” noted Gallant. “We asked that nominees show the practices they have in place to ensure the sound use of natural, human, financial and material resources.
“We are pleased to report that the jury saw some very good practices in the nomination forms.”
