Sorry, not sorry
As Canadians, we like to think of themselves 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. Not that’s awesome! The Citizen’s 2018 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
General Inquiries | 250-562-2441 Publisher | Colleen Sparrow Director of Advertising | Shawn Cornell Editor-in-Chief | Neil Godbout
the best and now can brag about their 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.
