Courtenay’s Big Wheel Burger, Powell River’s new transfer station, Nanaimo’s redeveloped Sealand Market, and the new Quw’utsun Secondary School in Duncan are also on the list.

The awards event is produced by the Business Examiner, and recognize the best in commercial and industrial buildings completed between the Malahat and North Vancouver Island. Projects are judged based on a strict set of criteria including design, functionality, and community contribution.
