Twenty years of Readers’ Choice
F
or 20 years, the Kamloops Daily News has been asking you: who’s the best? And once again, you’ve come through like never before. The 20th annual Readers’ Choice Awards have set another record for participation, with more than 1,800 entries in print and online — nearly 50 per cent more than the previous all-time high. The winners in more than 150 individual categories were celebrated at a special event at the Hotel 540 on Oct. 30, and now they’re here for all to see. It’s clear that Daily News readers care about customer service — and the Readers’ Choice Awards are a great indicator of those businesses who offer great quality, value and service in our community. A Readers’ Choice Award certificate in the window or on the wall of a business is a sign of approval by your fellow citizens that can’t be bought — it can only be earned. Once again we are very thankful to all the readers who participated. If you have any comments or suggestions on how to make this annual contest even better, please contact me at tshoults@kamloopsnews.ca or phone me at 250-371-6100. Enjoy finding out who your choices are! — Tim Shoults, Publisher
