Best of business awards
Our readers cast their votes
Yet again, it is that time of year and the annual Kootenay Business Best of Business Awards are upon us. For the 12th year in a row, exceptional businesses are recognized for many reasons. It may be the satisfaction they bring their customers, it may be their commitment to business excellence or it could be their particular product.
Each year we are asked, “How are the Best of Business winners selected?”
The Best of Business Awards are a product of reader surveys that have been distributed to over 30,000 people in our March/April issue. Our questionnaire is then tabulated and divided between East and West Kootenay to guarantee equal representation to both regions.
From the staff at Kootenay Business we would like to extend our congratulations to all of the Best of Business award winners. Thank you for keeping our region and businesses strong and prosperous.
