Every year, the Better Business Bureau serving Vancouver Island honours local businesses that go above and beyond commitment and dedication to trust and ethics in the marketplace.

For 2021, that comes after 18 months of challenges instigated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

To make up for the cancelled 2020 event, the organization pooled nominations for 97 different businesses submitted between September 2019 and August 2021. A panel of volunteer judges reviewed the nominations and selected finalists and winners.

“The Torch Award recognizes and celebrates businesses that have gone above and beyond when it comes to trustworthy, honest, reliable business practices, customer service excellence and community engagement. We are so proud of every nominee and finalist for their commitment to being leaders in their industry when it comes to ethical business practices,” said Rosalind Scott, president and CEO of BBB serving Vancouver Island.

The BBB recently announced its 33 finalists and four Spark Award recipients for the 2021 awards. Winners will be announced at the gala dinner and awards celebration Friday, Nov. 5 at the Union Club of B.C. in Victoria.
