Dr. Moshe Oz is this year’s winner of the Greater Westside Board of Trade’s Citizen of the Year award.
The Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital owner was honoured on Thursday night at the Key Business Awards Gala at 19 Okanagan Grill+Bar.
Dr. Oz and his wife, Dr. Noa Oz, always open their doors to Westside pet owners who need shelter for their pets in emergency situations, most notably when wildfires strike the region. He does it out of the goodness of his heart and will often spend the night with the evacuated pets.
“Dr. Oz contributes to this community more than people know, and it is time to recognize his noble efforts,” Greater Westside Board of Trade chairperson Bobby Gidda said in a press release. “The Westside is a better place to live with such a caring and compassionate resident and business owner in it.”
Other winners on Thursday night included The Heritage Retirement Residence as business of the year and large business of the year, Galleria Fashions Boutique (aboriginal business), Okanagan Business Excellence (community and public service), A View to Remember Bed and Breakfast (sustainable green business), Best Version Media (new business), Hergott Law (platinum service provider), Postnet (small business), Apothic Boutique Bed and Breakfast (tourism and hospitality), Mike Morsette Precision Fencing (young entrepreneur) and Dance City Academy (performing arts).
