The Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce hosted the 10th annual Clovies Awards on Nov. 5 at Northview Golf and Country Club, honouring the best in Surrey’s business community.
A Sold-Out Night of Celebration
Executive director Scott Wheatley presented the emerald-green trophies at a sold-out gala that featured live music, dinner, and auctions.
“It was a great night—well attended, and the auction raised the most money we’ve ever raised,” Wheatley said, noting over $10,000 was collected for Storehouse, a local not-for-profit that runs the Cloverdale Community Kitchen and Christmas Hamper Program.
The event also welcomed special guest Baljit Singh Sabharwal, the first Clovies chair, and several long-time sponsors who’ve supported the Chamber since the awards began.
