Unique to Vancouver Nomination:

We may not have taken home the award, but being nominated for the Unique-to-Vancouver category by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade was a win in itself.

To be recognized alongside organizations making a true difference in accessibility, inclusion, and community impact is an honour we hold close. At Dunbar Smiles, we believe that business excellence goes beyond profit—it’s about people, purpose, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, respected, and supported.

Thank you to our incredible patients, community, and team for walking this journey with us. This nomination reminds us to keep going—and to keep opening doors for others.

Untapped Awards:

We’re honoured to be named a Small Business Champion in the 2025 Untapped Awards by Open Door Group! One of our proudest moments? A former refugee student we once mentored returned to our clinic, not as a mentee, but as a first-year dental student. 

Accessibility means more than care—it’s about creating opportunities, building trust, and uplifting the next generation of changemakers in healthcare. Thank you to @opendoorgroup for recognizing our commitment. This award means the world to our entire Dunbar Smiles family.
