Canterbury Wins 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award: Education, Employment & Training Category
Last Friday night, Canterbury College was honoured to win the 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award in the Education, Employment & Training Category.
We were up against fellow (and very worthy) local Logan category finalists…
The Bee All Natural ‘artisan’ family beekeeping, premium raw honey and bee products business with their strong community educational model.
The Workways positive social and economic employment, education, training, small business development, social enterprises and community programs provider.
And the YMCA Vocational School which uses honesty, responsibility, respect and care to create a nurturing learning space, preparing students for a future of engagement, confidence and health.
Our award was sponsored by Mr Cameron Dick MP – State Member for Woodridge, amongst 17 other Logan Industry Awards presented during the gala evening, hosted at the Logan Entertainment Centre by the Logan Chamber of Commerce.
It was a great night with a full house of deserving Logan small, medium and large businesses, industry leaders and local, state and federal politicians.
The only unfortunate coincidence was that the 2023 Australian Education Awards were actually held on the same night down in Sydney, where College Principal Mr Dan Walker was required to attend, so Canterbury’s Director of Communications Mr Stephen Buckley accepted the award on his behalf…
Official Canterbury College Thank You:
On behalf of the Canterbury College Anglican School in Waterford, we would like to thank those people who nominated us, and the judges who chose us to win this award.
We also congratulate the other very worthy organisations in our Education Category for being nominated.
And a special ‘shout-out’ to our hard-working Logan Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski for always supporting our school so strongly – you are brilliant.
So we are very grateful for this award tonight, and passionate about the responsibility we have to make 1,560 Prep to Year 12 kids ‘World Ready’, on behalf of their parents and carers and the wider community.
Our school has changed enormously since 2019 under Principal Dan Walker, and we hope we get the chance to welcome your family to our Canterbury Community too.
Thank you.
Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski – Logan City Councillor For Division 4:
It was my pleasure to attend (Friday) night’s awards ceremony and to speak on behalf of the city.
It was another fabulous line up of wonderful businesses from many sectors across our city.
We recognised them in style with new categories added again this year.
The calibre of businesses in our city is phenomenal, and last night was a night for them to shine!
Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners for all their success over the past year, and I can’t wait to see what new and exciting things you achieve in the coming year!
Mr Jon Raven – Logan City Councillor For Division 5:
On Friday night the Logan Chamber of Commerce hosted the Business Distinction Awards and were silly enough to ask me to be their MC!
It was an incredible night with both the Munster Services Group and Bee All Natural winning the Business of the Year and Small Business of the Year awards.
Thank you to all the business owners and their staff who work so hard to make the economy in Logan hum.
Not all heroes wear capes!
Logan Chamber Of Commerce:
Well done to all those hard-working Logan business owners recognised for their contribution to Logan City!
Congratulations to all the nominees, finalists, and winners at the ‘Business Distinction Awards!
