The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
It was smiles all around at the Small Business BC Awards banquet Feb. 21 in Vancouver, where the Coast’s member of parliament posed with the owners of two winning businesses from Gibsons. From the left: Tim Bedford and Stephanie Heins, of Ginger Jars; MP Patrick Weiler; and Nidhi Kamboj and Vineet Miglani, of High Beam Dreams. Ginger Jars, which produces and sells soups and sauces made from unused produce from stores and farms, won in the “best community impact” category. High Beam Dreams, which operates an event space in the former United Church, won in the “best immigrant entrepreneur” category. The prizes include $1,500 and a year-long access to help from Small Business BC, a non-profit corporation. Photo submitted
