The People Awards Gala that was set for next week is being postponed to January.

     The Swift Current and District Chamber of Commerce has decided to push the event, which was scheduled for Thursday, to January 21, 2010.

     Chamber Chairman Jason Regier says the main reason for the move was because several other events were being planned for next week, and there were concerns that one event would take away from the other.  He adds that many of the volunteers who were to be honoured at the awards are also going to be busy.

     Regier says tables booked for the original date will still be good for the new January date, and a few tables are still available from the Chamber Office.
