“This was another fantastic year for nominations,” said KIRA 2007 Co-Chair, Heather-Anne MacLean. “It must have been a difficult decision for the Awards Selection Committee to narrow the nominations down to just these finalists. If all of the nominations were of this calibre, it would have been a difficult process indeed.”
“There certainly is an air of excitement around this year’s KIRA Awards,” said Lori MacMullen KIRA 2007 Co-Chair. “We sold out even earlier than normal last year and we expect the same to happen this year.”
