Prince George, B.C. -  It's is the biggest event of the year for the Prince George Chamber of Commerce...

The theme for this evening's 2010 Business Excellence Awards gala is "007: Licence to Do Business".  The event is just shy of a sell-out crowd with 433 tickets purchased for the black-tie affair.

Chamber CEO Jennifer Brandle-McCall says, "In the past, we've had to limit ticket sales to 300 people just because of the venue and, this year, we wanted to open it up to a larger audience -- not only because there was room to grow -- but also because we're going to be offering a special tribute to Sherry Sethen, the Chamber of Commerce's Executive Director of 17-years who just recently retired."

45 local businesses are the final nominees for the business excellence awards.  The 15 winners will be announced tonight.
