The Winner of the Established Business of the Year (more than 20 employees’ category) award was Clearway Car and Truck Rentals. Clearway assisted with the clean-up following the November 2021 flooding of Sumas Prairie.

“We are always looking at how we can do more, that’s why we stepped up during the floods,” said Jeremy Olson,COO of Clearway Car and Truck Rentals. “We jumped in right away using our resources alongside a police escort.” Olson also believed that the way employees are treated in his organization had something to do with the award, “Our staff was motivated to help because we treat them right. The way we treat our staff is the way those staff will in turn treat our customers and community.”
