The Village of Lumby is up for an Open for Business Award next month.
A pair of Okanagan communities have been named finalists for the Open for Business Awards.
The Village of Lumby and the District of Spallumcheen made the final three for the awards, which celebrate communities that have created a business-friendly environment, allowing small business to flourish.
Small Business BC will host the Open for Business Awards at the Small Business BC Awards Gala on Feb. 21, at Vancouver Convention Centre, where the winners in each division will be revealed.
Lumby is up against the District of Ucluelet and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs in the small category (fewer than 5,000 residents), while Spallumcheen will face off against the City of Colwood and the City of Dawson Creek in the medium category (5,000 to 25,000 residents).
The awards, which were launched in 2011, encompass three categories based on the population of each community. Each of the finalists selected has showcased its commitment to supporting the growth and success of the small business sector and looking for innovative solutions to drive economic development within its community.
