Description

This year, we’re marking a moment worth celebrating!

On October 1st, join us for The Pearl Gala: a special 30th edition of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. For three decades, this event has recognized the bold ideas, visionary leadership, and lasting impact of businesses and organizations shaping our region, and this year we’re marking the occasion with a symbol as timeless as it is meaningful: the pearl.

Pearls represent transformation, resilience, and strength; formed over time through grit and perseverance. What better metaphor for the journey of business, leadership, and community impact? Just like pearls, success is cultivated slowly, shaped by challenges, and polished through experience.

As we reflect on 30 years of innovation, growth, and community leadership, the pearl reminds us that excellence isn’t accidental, it’s earned. It speaks to the power of investing in people, building strong foundations, and contributing to something greater than ourselves.

So put on your finest and get ready for a night of elegance and inspiration as we honour the businesses and leaders who continue to shine, and make our community stronger year after year.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
