I am thrilled to share some truly exciting news: Trish Arato Inc. has been selected as a finalist for “Small Business of the Year” at the 74th Annual Delta Business Excellence Awards Gala!
The event, hosted by the Delta Chamber of Commerce, will take place on October 24, 2025, at the Tsawwassen Springs Ballroom, a venue that beautifully overlooks Delta’s farmland and the North Shore Mountains. This gala is more than just a celebration; it’s a recognition of the vision, hard work, and community spirit that fuel our city’s growth.
To stand alongside such a distinguished group of businesses and leaders is both humbling and energizing. Since launching my custom jewellery studio right here in Ladner Village, I have poured my heart into every design and every conversation with clients. Being recognized in this way is a testament not only to the love I have for my craft, but even more so, to the tremendous support I’ve received along the way.
From the very first custom ring to the latest one-of-a-kind pendant to now offering my own exclusive collection, my journey has always been rooted in community. I am deeply grateful to every client who has trusted me to bring their vision to life, to the fellow small businesses who inspire me daily, and to my friends, family, and neighbours who have cheered me on. Your encouragement and belief in what I do have been invaluable. This recognition isn’t just mine; it belongs to all of us.
On October 24, I’ll be joining other remarkable finalists across categories like Medium Business, Large Business, Environmental Sustainability, Non-Profit, and more. It promises to be an inspiring evening of celebration, networking, and reflection on what makes Delta so special.
Thank you, sincerely, for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to share this special night with you all, and to continue doing what I love: creating pieces that celebrate stories, milestones, and the unique spirit of our community.
With gratitude,
Trish
