The Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards are going virtual this year due to uncertainty over COVID-19.
“The Awards have always been about recognizing business excellence in our region,” awards chairman Jason Toner said in a news release. “But first and foremost, they are about the safety of our guests, sponsors, partners and staff at the Chrysler Theatre and St. Clair College Centre for the Arts.”
The awards, presented by the Windsor Star and produced by Media Street Productions, can be watched by local subscribers of YourTV or streamed live on the YourTV YouTube channel.
A unique, locally themed Stay at Home ticket package is available for sale now. The package includes exclusive access to the livestream, a dinner voucher for a variety of local restaurants, and a Johnson Insurance BEA gift bag featuring a bottle of wine from the EPIC Wineries collective and other local products.

A total of 12 awards will be handed out. This year’s Believe Windsor Essex Award Winner, sponsored by WFCU Credit Union, is Farrow, a customs and logistics service company. The recipient of the Athena Leadership Award, sponsored by Bell, is Marlene Corey, a producer/director at Cogeco/YourTV Windsor.
The other award winners — are a surprise.
Gordon Orr, CEO of Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island, will host this year’s awards.
“In-person networking is a big part of the ‘Business Excellence Awards’ and truthfully that part will be missed,” Toner said. “But people will still get to see the glitz and glamour that’s part of the event and we’re adding some interactive elements on social media.”
The awards take place May 20 starting at 7 p.m.
