2023 Ottawa Awards packed with WC talent
Special to WC Online
WEST CARLETON – The 2023 Faces Magazine Ottawa Awards are being chosen as we type and as usual, the many West Carleton businesses and professionals made the nominee list.
Despite never, not even once, making the list of nominees, West Carleton Online has been covering the Ottawa Awards, presented by Mattamy Homes, since 2020.
The Ottawa Awards features more than 300 categories and is billed as the largest public voted awards event in Ottawa. Last year five West Carleton businesses won awards.
Faces Magazine bills it as the National Capital’s annual celebration of excellence.
“Celebrating the people, places and businesses that make our city world-class,” Faces Magazine released in a statement.
This year, the awards show is returning to an in-person event with Faces Magazine hosting an awards gala at The Shaw Centre on Feb. 18.
Last week, Faces Magazine released the nominees for the 2023 Ottawa Awards and many West Carleton businesses, people and places made the cut once again.
“It is truly amazing to see so many (West Carleton) businesses and individuals nominated this year for the Faces Magazine Awards,” the Village of Carp Business Improvement Area released in a statement last week (Jan. 17).
