READERS CHOICE 2020

Sorry, not sorry As Canadians, we like to think of ourselves as humble, polite and hardworking people who, with no sense of irony, cheerfully declare to the world that we’re the best there is. We have plenty to brag about, of course, starting with the fact that so many people in so many other parts of the world, including those folks south of the 49th parallel, would love to live here. We’re awesome and everyone around the world knows how awesome we are. Now that’s awesome! The Citizen’s 2020 Reader’s Choice Awards is all about awesomeness. The local businesses named in the following pages are also humble, polite and hardworking people who know they’re the best and now can brag about their

General Inquiries | 250-562-2441 Publisher | Peter Kvarnstrom Director of Advertising | Nancy Johnson Editor-in-Chief | Neil Godbout

awesomeness. Those local businesses are also a reflection of the awesomeness of this city and its residents. In other words, we as Prince George residents can go to Kamloops, Kelowna, Vancouver or anywhere else in Canada and cheerfully proclaim “well, yes, this is all very nice but you should know there’s this place in Prince George that does it better than you guys. Sorry.” But not sorry. You know awesome when you see it which is why you voted for these businesses. Thanks for voting and helping us let everyone know how awesome they are.

Favorite Local Sports Team

Most Community Minded

The Prince George Cougars’ owners, management, players, and volunteers want to sincerely thank our community for your ongoing support. Over the past six years we have donated close to $1,000,000 to organizations throughout Prince George and Northern BC. We couldn’t do this without the support of our fans, and the incredible partnerships we have with our sponsors, including Northland Dodge, Northland Hyundai, local McDonalds owners, Tim Horton’s, Northern Matt & Bridge, and many more. Our season has been delayed due to COviD. While we are incredibly excited to get back to normal, we want to remind everyone that the best way to get back to the rink is to first beat COviD and to listen to the experts. This includes wearing masks, keep socially distanced, washing your hands, and be considerate of others. When we are able to have fans in the stands, we will proudly take a leadership position of helping our community come back together, and to act as a therapeutic factor to reconnect with everyone and join together in socializing, cheering and having fun!
