Uptown Rutland Nominated for BIA BC 'Best of the West' Award

May 28th

The BIABC Best in the West Awards programme recognizes excellence by its members in a number of categories. Participants throughout BC showcase their best practices and creative ideas for consideration. Uptown Rutland BIA directors were very excited to learn that our Utility Box project was considered one of the top three contenders in the Community Programmes, Partnerships and Special Events Category.
Although we didn't win the award, we were honoured to be considered one of the best in BC.

Thank you to FortisBC, Telus. BC Ministry of Transport and City of Kelowna and Stroma Signs for their contribution and support of our Utility Box Project.

Especially thank you to Uptown Rutland members and the people of the Rutland Community. Without your participation, this project would not have been the winning project it is.
