The 31st Georgie Awards black-tie gala took place on May 20th at Vancouver’s Hyatt Regency in front of a sold-out crowd of 650 guests decked out in their finest. Hosted by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C. (CHBA BC), the ballroom was festooned in the fantasy world of the Wizard of Oz. 

Thrilled with the turnout, Neil Moody, CEO of the CHBA BC, says: 

“The Georgie Awards are a testament to the excellence, professionalism and innovation that defines the residential construction industry in British Columbia. They are an opportunity to celebrate the incredible work being done by builders, renovators, designers, and marketers and to recognize their contributions to the communities they serve.”
