Love your local Business contest

CEDEC is thrilled to announce the return of its "Love Your Local Business" contest!  
Designed to support and recognize small business owners in Quebec, the contest includes three stages, culminating in a celebratory gala at Centre Mont-Royal on November 21.

The voting period is now open to the public so here's your chance to vote for your favourite local business!  Go to the love your local business contest page  and click on the "vote" tab!  And if you're a small business and would like to participate, you still have a chance to enter but hurry as you need the most votes to win!

Voting will be open to the public from October 1-31, and five finalists will be chosen based on the highest number of votes. The top five finalists will each win a prize, including travel and accommodations to attend the finale gala. 

A jury panel will select one of the finalists to receive the grand prize, a 30-second television commercial to air on CBC during December 2013-January 2014. CBC's Dragons' Den host, Dianne Buckner, will return as the gala's keynote speaker promising registrants and ticket holders a captivating and inspiring experience.  CBC News: Montreal at 5, 5:30 & 6pm hosts Debra Arbec and Andrew Chang will be the MC for the night.
