Bella Dance Academy has six nominations across the categories, while ArTech Engrave, Piercings by Haley J, and Juniper Health all received five nominations.
“Despite the ongoing disruption that businesses face, we’ve heard powerful stories of resilience, innovation, and adaptation,” said Tim Syer, president of the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce.
“We’re proud to recognize these businesses that make our community a wonderful place to live.”
The Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce said winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges after an experiment last year with online voting.
The awards ceremony will not be held in person due to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak in the city. Plans for recognizing and celebrating award nominees and winners are expected in the days ahead.
