Annual People’s Choice Awards celebrates excellence in business, sports, professional  and social services

Each year Faces Magazine, an Ottawa magazine publication puts on its own unique version of the people’s choice awards. This event shines a light on Ottawa’s local businesses, community organizations, athletes, service providers and high level professionals and awards them for their commitment and hard work throughout the year.
Through a first step nomination process people are asked to nominate their favorites in various categories. Then the finalists are listed and community members can vote daily for their choice in each category.
On January 27th, 2017 the awards ceremony was held at LAGO Bar and Grill, with former Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris as Emcee and many of the city’s movers and shakers in attendance.
Community leader, Sophia Jacob, CEO of Sophia J Events was the recipient of the prestigious Faces Award for

” I thank God for his continual blessings and I humbly thank everyone that voted for me” said Sophia. “I’m so grateful to my family, friends, clients and colleagues for their tremendous support”
