McKinley Beach’s Beachhouse is up for two Tommie Awards.

The Canadian Homebuilders of the Central Okanagan has announced the finalists for the 2019 Tommie Awards, an annual awards program that celebrates excellence in home building and renovation in the area.

This year’s finalists come from a group of projects that were built, renovated, created and/or marketed between Jan. 1, 2017, and Sept. 30, 2018. An out-of-town group of industry professionals pores over all the submissions and creates the finalist list.

“The success of the Tommie Awards couldn’t happen without a strong and supportive industry,” Tommie Awards chairperson Kevin Santos said in a press release. “The awards’ continued success is a testament to the tireless efforts and dedication of the Canadian Home Builders Association, which works every day to promote and showcase world-class projects and communities in the Central Okanagan.”

The 2019 Tommie Awards Gala, which will be the 27th annual, will be held on Jan. 19, 2019, at Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel in Kelowna. A champagne reception will start at 5 p.m., with the program and entertainment following at 6 o’clock.
