Congratulations to us!

The qathet Living team at the February 4 awards gala, from left, Sean Percy, Angela Richards, Isabelle Southcott, Pieta Woolley, and Suzanne Wiebe.

We were honoured that qathet Living was presented with the Business Excellence Award at last month’s Chamber of Commerce Business Awards. We were delighted just to be in the company of such wonderful businesses as fellow nominees Big O Tires, Costa del Sol, First Credit Union, IRIS, Quality Foods, River City Coffee, Service Vocal Training and Valley Auto Repair.

We were also delighted that our fearless editor, Pieta Woolley, was chosen as Employee of the Year. We simply couldn’t agree more.

qathet Living has come a long way since putting out our first issue from the the basement of Isabelle Southcott’s home in 2006. She said it on awards night, and we’d like to repeat it here: This magazine is possible only because of the support of the businesses who advertise in its pages - and they do that because of you, our dear readers. We vow to keep making it worth your while.
