Applications are now open for the 2025 Brandon Green Business Award.
The annual award, presented by the City of Brandon and the Brandon Chamber of Commerce, honours a local business that excels in sustainability, water conservation or waste reduction through its own efforts. Businesses of all sizes within the city can apply.
Applications are due by Oct. 30 and should describe initiatives a business has taken that go beyond its day-to-day operations and aren’t mandated by governments or regulatory bodies.
Examples of green initiatives include becoming a fair-trade workplace or retailer, switching to energy-efficient bulbs or appliances where applicable, finding creative ways to reuse and recycle goods or materials, and encouraging a green commuting strategy, the city said in a press release.
“These suggestions are just a starting point — businesses are encouraged to get creative and produce their own unique sustainability efforts,” the release said.
The winning business will receive a certificate it can display on its premises, a fair-trade coffee break hosted at their business and recognition on the city’s social media channels, including a team photo and a feature story highlighting their initiative and its impact.
Past winners of the award include Living Simply Kitchen, The Green Spot Home and Garden, and the Brandon University Physical Plant.
For more information, call 204-729-2510.
