PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS 2015
OBSERVER READERS VOTE FOR THEIR FAVOURITES
The votes have been tallied, and your voices have been heard. Hundreds of ballots for the Observer’s People’s Choice Awards 2015 have poured in from our readers, telling us the best places to eat, to shop and to play. The results show that there is overwhelming support by residents for our communitybased businesses. They also shed a little light on what makes Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, and Chilliwack such great places to live. You’ve told us the best place to go walking, whow the best community partner and local musicians are, and where to take your pet for grooming. We’ve heard you loud and clear when it comes to finding great local products, or where to relax with a cold drink. While the people, places and businesses listed in this pull-out guide are to be congratulated for all their hard work, we also want to thank our readers. The contest success was based entirely on your participation. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Thank you Agassiz!

Having lived in big cities most of my life (Vancouver, Toronto and Amsterdam), it was a bit of culture shock to move to the small village of Harrison Hot Springs. What brought my family here and what keeps us here is the beauty, the nature and the small town feel. Personally, my favourite past time is hiking. The Harrison Hot Springs area offers spectacular hikes including: the Harrison Grind (aka Campbell Lake trail), Bear Mountain, and my personal favourite: Slollicum Mountain. A little rougher than the manicured trails closer to Vancouver, you truly feel you’re getting away from the crowds as you hike our local trails. Coming a close second is biking the country roads in the District of Kent.
