Congratulations to the Winners!

elcome to the 15th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards, it’s one of our highlights each and every year at The Record. As you may recall, we published ballots during the month of June and offered a $750 shopping spree at Royal City Centre as an incentive for you, the loyal reader, to cast your votes for the best in New West in 110 business categories.

While our contest does not qualify as a scientific survey, the level of participation definitely lends credibility to the outcome as do our strict rules on how we count and qualify every ballot. Each ballot must contain a minimum of 25 businesses voted upon, only one ballot is accepted per individual, and only original ballots cut out of the newspaper or entered online were counted.All other entries were disqualified.

I want to offer my sincere congratulations to the businesses who received this year’s Readers’ Choice Award.They are all deserving of our recognition as The Best in New West.

But please don’t just take our word for it; visit as many of the winning businesses listed in this special feature and decide for yourself.

The Record would like to congratulate this year’s winner of the Royal City Centre Shopping Spree, Chris Chong.We also sincerely thank all of you who participated and entered this year’s contest and we look forward to counting your votes next year.

here are so many banking options out there. Financial institutions all offer similar services and products but there’s one that stands above the rest with The Record’s readers.

In New Westminster, the favourite for six years running is TD Canada Trust. Recently J.D. Power also named TD Canada Trust as the top bank in customer satisfaction for the 9th consecutive year.

TD Canada Trust has a rich, long and stellar history of serving the needs of the local community.

The landmark financial institution has a presence in New Westminster dating back more than 100 years.

TD CanadaTrust has long been recognized for its strong focus and reputation for excellence in customer service and satisfaction.

“Our employees are focused on creating a legendary customer experience that is best in class within the industry and provides the best advice for all our customer’s financial needs,” says Paul Ten-Pow, the branch manager of the 6th Street branch. “We have a team

of employees that really care about our customers.”

TD Canada Trust is always trying to find ways to make banking easier and more comfortable.

Its hours of operation include Sundays in all three New Westminster locations, which means TD Canada Trust now offers the most convenient and extended hours of operation.

Meanwhile, TD Canada Trust understands the importance of community involvement.

The bank and its employees have an illustrious reputation for helping out in the community.

It is one of the title sponsors of the New Westminster’s Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award.

Our staff is actively involved in local community events such as Uptown Live, Sapperton Days and Tree Days at Hume Park.

We understand the importance of involvement and giving back to the community.

Committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of its clients, see why readers of The Record keep voting them the best financial institution in New Westminster year after year.

Medical Esthetics by Katie B E S T L A S E R H A I R R E M OVA L

rom the moment clients walk into Medical Esthetics by Katie they are guaranteed to receive top quality services that treat their skin conditions while they are being pampered.

Katie Marshall, Medical Esthetics Practitioner, opened her clinical skin care studio six years ago with the goal of providing top-of- the-line skincare while still making her client’s look and feel their best. Katie strives to develop lasting relationships with her clients, and their loyalty helps drive her success. Affectionately referred to as the “James Bond of Facials” for her wide of array of age-fighting gadgets, her clients describe her as nurturing and supportive with a wealth of knowledge. And while the studio has been a Reader’s Choice Award winner three years running for its laser treatments, this beautiful private skin care studio oasis offers so much more.

Specializing in advanced anti-aging peels and skin rejuvenation for all skin types, from aging to acneprone. “I offer only the highest-grade cosmeceutical skincare products and treatments,” Katie explains.

“My skincare programs are resultsoriented and the products are loaded

2014

The Record • Friday, August 29, 2014 • B7

Dairy Queen B E S T D E S S E RT S

with the most advanced sciencebased ingredients, such as Peptides, Vitamin A, AHA’s and Vitamin C.” Katie provides consultations to help her clients understand their unique skincare needs, and recommends products and procedures to restore healthy skin. These therapies can help correct imperfections, including hyperpigmentation (age spots), acne, rosacea, and skin compromised by cancer treatments.

“Skin challenges can cause emotional stress and anxiety. Effective skincare is a necessity, not a luxury. Through a collaborative approach I help my clients improve their skin by giving them the necessary information and tools for an effective homecare regimen, which is essential to achieving lasting results,” Katie says.

Recently, Katie received her professional Oncology Esthetics training from A Touch of Cancer, the foremost oncology esthetics certification program in North America. There, she learned about the different types of cancers, their treatments and related medications, and how cancer affects both patients and caregivers. Cancer treatments and medications that many patients undergo generally compromise the

immune system as well as the patient’s skin. Because of this, they require specialized services. Chemo-targeted therapy and radiation therapy can cause a host of skin-related side effects, and the most common skin care is often ineffective. Medical Esthetics by Katie is the first Clinical Skin Care studio in New Westminster to offer specialized spa treatments for those with health-challenged skin.

Katie shares her success by staying involved in the community. She is a member of the B2B Now New West, New West Chamber of Commerce and E-SPA BC. She continues to further her education by attending various spa programs and seminars, and is constantly working to stay updated on the newest and most popular spa trends. With over six years experience in the spa industry and seventeen years experience in customer service retail management, Katie has worked in a variety of environments and businesses.

Medical Esthetics by Katie moved to her new location in February 2014 in Uptown New West, Suite #406 – 625 5th Avenue. For more information or to book an appointment, call Katie at 604.544.2237 or email medicalestheticsbykatie@gmail.com or visit www.mebykatie.com

nytime is a great time to indulge in sweet, velvety ice cream.

In New Westminster, when people want to treat themselves to a big scoop of vanilla or sinfully delicious chocolate ice cream, they head to Dairy Queen.

For more than 25 years, Dairy Queen has been an integral part of the community.

The leader in ice cream is also known for its healthy alternatives.

Dairy Queen offers a range of Orange Julius drink products – a small Orange Julius is only 220 calories, with zero grams of fat.

Other low fat alternatives include its ice cream sandwich, 190 calories and six grams of fat, and a small cone, 290 calories with six grams of fat Owner/proprietor Mike Sam credits DQ’s continued success on friendly, helpful staff, a great tasting product and that good old fashioned service, where clients are greeted by name.

“The business is about being involved with the community, and bringing people together through ice cream,” says Mike.

“We are a very family and community based store, who really value our customers as well as our staff.”

Dairy Queen is also much more than ice cream. DQ offers a wide variety of hamburgers, chicken wraps, salads and much more.

Meanwhile, community is ingrained in the philosophy of Dairy Queen.

Each year, DQ is involved in local charities, sports teams as well as the Children’s Miracle Treat Day, raising thousands for Children’s Hospital through its Blizzard sales, raffle baskets, 50/50 draws, face painting, and games. “Children’s Miracle Treat Day is a big event for us, that we pride ourselves in making a difference,” says Mike.

Dairy Queen is located at 708 6th Ave. For more information, call 604-526-5633 or log onto www.DQ.ca.

s an experienced lawyer practicing corporate and commercial law; wills, trusts, and estates; and real estate transactions, Stephen Graf saw a good opportunity and opened up a boutique law firm in downtown New Westminster in January 2013.

His location provides convenient access to the courthouse library, the Land Title Office, legal support service providers such as Dye & Durham Corporation, and major banks.

As a sole practitioner, Stephen values his clients’ time and is committed to providing professional and personalized service.

“Because so much of my work goes on behind the scenes, I particularly value timely client communication,” says the longtime

area resident and married father of three.

“Client communication is a two-way street: actively listening to client concerns, and explaining legal matters in everyday language.”

Educated in law at the University of B.C., Stephen also earned a business degree in management science from SFU. In May 2014, he marked 10 years of call to the British Columbia bar.

Stephen offers a depth of experience and insight. He is working to establish himself as a leader in using technology to provide legal services. He credits his success in part to the referral partnerships he has built over the years within the community.

“I also enjoy a good working relationship with an experienced real estate paralegal whose skill with legal technology complements mine,” he says, adding he is a member of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. “I like using legal technology as long as it gives my clients a better experience. It can help me work faster for my clients without sacrificing accuracy, and it can provide more ways to communicate.”

Stephen Graf looks forward to welcoming new and existing clients to his firm, located at #480-604 Columbia St., New Westminster.

According to White Spot’s story, it all started when founder Nat Bailey transformed his 1918 Model T truck into a traveling lunch counter for hungry sightseers at Vancouver’s Lookout Point.

One day, as the young industrious Bailey was doing his runs, a customer leaned out of his window and asked him, “Why don’t you bring it to us?”

One reviewer on Dine Here says: “Definitely a strong step up from most other pubs. No doubt this is a result of the pub once being an established restaurant. Food provides great dollar value… pizza is delicious.”

“We partnered with Molson Canadian as being one of Canada’s biggest leading partners,” says Peter.

Meanwhile, the pub raises thousands of dollars for the community, including local charities such as the Salvation Army and the Cuccione Foundation, which helps raise money to battle childhood cancer. In the last two years they’ve raised over 50,000 dollars.
