Our readers’ choose their favourites once again
Welcome to the 21 annual Readers’ Choice Awards special section. This feature recognizes and honours the businesses and individuals chosen by our readers as their favourite in specific categories. Winners were determined by ballots that ran in late May/early April and through an online survey. Readers were asked to write in their favourite in each of the categories. The businesses or individuals receiving the most votes were declared the Readers’ Choice winners. There are three different geographical areas from which they were chosen. The majority are in the South Delta area while there are some specifically from Ladner and Tsawwassen. That decision is based on whether or not a person would likely travel to get that product or service. For example if you live in Ladner you may not choose to take your dry cleaning to Tsawwassen so that is one of the areas where there are winners from both places. As you go through the list of winners they will be identified which area they are the readers’ choice. st
As part of the reception held earlier in June a number of businesses brought door prizes and over 40 attendees took home something other than just their Readers’ Choice framed certificate. We thank those merchants for making the evening that much more fun. As well, a big thank you goes to our host Beach Grove Golf Club who provided great food and service throughout the evening. The readers were also asked “What keeps you going back?” to the local businesses they enjoy. There were a variety of reasons and we had hundreds of responses of which a number are included in this section along with some photos of the businesses. We thank all of the readers who took time to tell us who their favourites are and why. It shows the strength of the local business community in South Delta. There were a number of categories were the voting was very close so we will see how they all do when we run our 22 Annual Readers’ Choice in 2019. nd

Readers’ Choice Awards “I would recommend Tsawwassen Hearing Centre to anyone. They’ve been incredible with my dad. The team there is so genuine and warm, and very knowledgeable. “ “Mom and pop shops will get my business nine times out of 10. The service is almost always better. I’d pay more to know the PHOTO BY ADRIAN MACNAIR money I’m spending Mark and Shawna from Tsawwassen Hearing Centre stays in my community. with Optimist sales rep John (right). Ladner is starting to become over-run with chain restaurants and stores. Why? So, so sad.” “The quality and service keep us coming back to Illuminate. You always know when Roland is cooking everything is made to perfection.” “Personalized service you can only get in a small town. Quality must be good, and prices decent, but not necessarily cheapest if the care is there. I want to know they remember me and are happy to see me.” “The team at The Studio changed my life and was able to help me move forward with my fitness goals even with my injuries.” “I love going to places that recognize me and call me by name.” “Free Flight Dance is a studio filled with passionate teachers and students - an extremely positive and encouraging environment for all abilities.”

“I live in Vancouver, but will drive to Myne Hair Salon for the last five years because they give me the exact colour I want every time. It’s hard to find a perfect hairstyle, so it’s well worth the drive for me. The staff is friendly and they always will find the time to fit me in.”
“I’ve lived in Ladner almost 30 years and it is the friendliness of the owners/employees that keep me trying to shop local.” “Super service — Peekaboo and Mario’s have very good service and great food.” “Pillar-of-the-community style integrity and an eye for quality and workmanship.” “We enjoy going to Petra’s for a coffee, breakfast or lunch. It’s a great place to meet up with friends. The staff is always friendly. They make the best Montreal smoked meat sandwich west of Montreal.” “Personality and great service go a long way.”
