Several Tri-City businesses have made the cut and are now in the top five finalists for the 12th annual Small Business BC Awards.
The judges whittled down the entrants and have chosen a handful for each of the categories; they'll now present a 10-minute business pitch to a panel of industry experts who will decide the winners.
The winners are announced at the ceremony at Vancouver's Pan Pacific Hotel on Feb. 26.
Port Moody's Rocky Point Ice Cream is in the running in the Best Company category and Port Coquitlam's Vancouver Tumblebus is in for Best Immigrant Entrepreneur while Coquitlam's Branded Athletics is up in the Best International Trade category.
Sole Girls, a North Vancouver-based business that offers running and leadership programs in Greater Vancouver, including Coquitlam, for young girls and teens is up for the Best Community Impact award.
