Do you love a local business? Nominate them!

Each year, the Township calls for nominations of businesses located in Rideau Lakes to recognize and celebrate the hard-working business owners and entrepreneurs that provide employment and services in our communities. The nomination period opens on February 1, 2026 and will remain open until the first Friday in March.

The application is simple to complete, and we can provide assistance. We hope to see lots of businesses nominated. There is an online nomination form using SurveyMonkey, in addition to the traditional Fillable PDF. This not only makes the nomination process easy, but because the form is now available as a link, people can share the nomination form with their online networks.

Once the deadline of March 6, 2026 arrives, a panel of judges will assess the applications and select the winners.

Winners will be celebrated at the annual Business Awards Breakfast, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 15 at the Elgin Lions Community Hall.
