ABBOTSFORD A-LIST

2013

A-List draws more than 15,000 submissions We asked our audience to nominate their Abbotsford A-List Favourites in more than 100 categories and thousands of readers complied.

The Abbotsford News Media Group would like to thank everyone who participated in the 2013 A-List survey. It is always fun and interesting to discover our readers’ preferences regarding businesses and services around the city.

We are also very grateful for the huge volume of voters who participated this year – it was a phenomenal number, far greater than in our previous five years! So, although we had lots of counting to do and I do mean a good week's worth… thanks again and we look forward to sharing this edition with our entire readership. This year’s randomly selected grand prize winner is Sharon Tompkins of Abbotsford. Sharon is the lucky recipient of a $500 shopping spree to Sevenoaks Shopping Centre.

readers during the summer. After compiling nominations, the top three nominees from each category made it onto the short list. One of the finalists in each category has been declared the winner. The nominee with the most votes takes home bragging rights that come with knowing that readers of one of Canada's leading media groups simply loves their products or services.

We have also included the top two finalists in each category. Even though a business, product or service may not win, making it as a nominee is still noteworthy and always helps readers find new products to try!

Now, through this special edition you can explore the results, share your favourites, and join the conversation. Don't be shy about sharing the results through your favourite social media sites and don't forget to use the hashtag #AbbotsfordAList.

Sharon Tomkins, grand prize winner.
