Mr.
Wall:
— Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m grateful for the opportunity to
be able to congratulate the 17 Swift Current businesses who were
competing for seven very prestigious Swift Current Business
Excellence Awards sponsored by the Swift Current Chamber of
Commerce last Wednesday evening in Swift Current. Congratulations
to Mcelheran and Woodworks Manufacturing who won the young
entrepreneur award. Joe and Barb Arling and the entire team they
have with them at the Best Western Inn were worthy winners of the
customer service award. Boston Pizza took home the award for new
business of the year. Etcetera Etcetera won for property
appearance. Mr. Speaker, for the better part of this century,
Standard Motors in Swift Current has been employing people and
contributing to the local economy. This 90-year-young business
received the Swift Current business excellence heritage Award.
Congratulations as well to the team at Wheatland Machine Shop and
their achievement in winning a major new award unveiled called the
business choice award. And, Mr. Speaker, a special acknowledgement
to the third annual Swift Current Business Excellence business of
the year award winner, Pharmasave. Ron Heeg started this business
in 1964, later joined by his partner Al Chilton, and they still
operate a very excellent retail outlet recently renovated.
Congratulations to Pharmasave and all the winners and those who
were nominated, Mr. Speaker. And a special thanks to the Swift
Current Chamber of Commerce whose efforts on the business
excellence awards are exemplary of the dedication they have to
making Swift Current a great place to do business. Thank you, Mr.
Speaker.
