Swift Current Achievement in Business Excellence Awards
Mr. Wall: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Swift Current business community has
many things going for it. It has a collective determination to
successfully compete in a free market. It has diversified with
strong retail, service, and manufacturing sectors, and its
compassion for the community knows no bounds.
And, Mr. Speaker, it can also
brag of the strongest business associations in our province —
the Swift Current Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Speaker, last week I
had the privilege of attending the second annual SCABEX (Swift
Current Achievement in Business Excellence) awards, and I can
assure that all of the qualities that I have mentioned above were
clearly on display during those business excellence awards. All
sectors of our business community were also represented in the
award-winning categories.
Congratulations to 7th Heaven
Hair Design for property appearance, Stark & Marsh for
community involvement, Kurt’s Take Out & Catering service
for the heritage award. The new business award went to Legault
Manufacturing. The customer service award, Mr. Speaker, resulted
in a tie: the Pharmasave and Sentiments Gifts & Crafts.
And, Mr. Speaker, the business
of the year in Swift Current last year was awarded to National
Manufacturing. A hearty congratulations to Bill Medland and all of
his staff at National Manufacturing, one of our country’s
largest fastener manufacturers. They successfully compete around
the globe, Mr. Speaker, with both American and Far East firms.
And congratulations as well to
all the businesses who were nominated and to the Swift Current
Chamber of Commerce for the second annual SCABEX awards.
