An event of this stature requires a huge team effort spread over many months. It is the sum of so many, many details. That being said, the AWMAC BC Annual Awards of Excellence could never be the amazing occasion that it is without
the substantial support of our sponsors. I thank them for their generosity and willingness to be ongoing champions of the Awards Gala.
Moira Rowan | AWMAC BC Executive Director
I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to all the 2015 winners. You should be patting yourselves on the back for triumphing in a very tough arena. If we look back at what we’ve collectively achieved over the last
25 years of celebrating excellence, it is clear to me that we owe a special thanks to our long standing Executive Director Moira Rowan and her incredible team: Glenda Harskamp, Lezelle Bredenkamp and Mari Tierney. I’m sure AWMAC BC members will continue to raise the bar and I look forward to seeing the results of this at our 2016 Awards.

German quality you can trust
More work space: Selekta Pro 2000Making way in the office: the incredibly shallow single-pivot hinge gives office cabinet doors an opening angle
of up to 270° – leaving them flat against the sides. Like this, files and pull-outs are in easy reach all the time.
But with no open doors in the way.

VIONARO DRAWER SYSTEM
www.grasscanada.com
The Vionaro Drawer Design makes a stunning impression with its sleek, seamless drawer sides. The simplicity of being able to use Vionaro steel drawers and wood drawers on the proven Dynapro undermount slide, streamlines inventory and production. Furthermore, a sturdy front connection of the Vionaro allows front heights of up to 780 mm without railing systems. The stepless side, height and tilt adjustments integrated into the drawer sides, enables the fronts to be perfectly aligned. Beautiful and efficient, we invite you to enhance the furniture in your home or office space with Vionaro.
Less is More.Slender. Sleek. Modern.
