About the Torch Awards

Recognizing integrity put into action

Each year BBB, Vancouver Island, BC recognizes, honours and celebrates businesses in our region that have gone above and beyond when it comes to ethical and trustworthy business practices.

Customers can nominate a company anytime through our online form.

Judges are looking for stories that showcase a business' character, culture, customer service, and community engagement.

The deadline for nominations is August 31st of each year.

A Torch Award Gala celebration to announce the winners is held in November of each year and hosted at the Union Club of BC.
