A local business is nominated for a provincial small business award.
Kekuli Cafe, which opened in Merritt about three months ago, has been nominated for two 2015 Small Business BC Awards: the Premier’s People’s Choice and Best Concept award.
The province has run the Small Business BC Awards since 2003.
Last year, 470 local businesses from 55 communities around the province were nominated.
B.C. is home to over 400,000 small businesses, about 5,900 of which are based in the Thompson-Okanagan area.
The top 10 companies with the most votes will apply for their awards to a panel of judges, which will decide on the best business in B.C.
The Premier’s prize is $1,500 cash, a one-year pass to Small Business BC resources, and mentorship opportunities from award sponsors and advisors.
Voting for the awards is open until Nov. 30 at sbbcawards.ca.
