THANK YOU!
from the management and staff of Westwood Honda for voting us
Welcome to the Annual Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s one of the highlights of the year at The NOW and as you may recall, we published ballots and offered a $500 shopping spree at the Coquitlam Centre as an incentive for you, our loyal readers, to cast your votes for The Best in the Tri-Cities in 92 business categories.

www.westwoodhonda.com
While our contest does not qualify as a scientific survey, the level of participation does lend credibility to the outcome, as do our strict rules on how we count and qualify the ballots. Each ballot must contain a minimum of 25 votes, only one ballot per person and only original ballots were accepted. All other entries were disqualified. I want to offer my sincere congratulations to the businesses who received this year’s Readers’ Choice awards. They are most deserving of our recognition as The Best in the Tri-Cities. But don’t just take our word for it; visit as many of the winning businesses listed in this special feature and decide for yourself. The NOW would like to congratulate this year’s winner of the Coquitlam Centre Shopping Spree, Raymond Smith of Coquitlam. We want to thank all of you who participated and entered this year’s contest. We look forward to counting your votes next year. Brad Alden, Publisher
Enjoy SUSHI & SASHIMI like you’ve never had before...
