The News Bulletin is looking for help from our readers in celebrating everything great about the Harbour City.
We’re asking you to tell us what you think makes Nanaimo the greatest place to live.
We’re celebrating the best Nanaimo has to offer with the 11th annual Best of the City survey, published both in print and online (at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nbubestofcity2012).
Fill out a questionnaire about what they like and love and what they are passionate about.
Tell us where the best place is to meet for coffee, your favourite biking routes and hiking trails, the best shops and restaurants and best night-time entertainment spots.
Some of our survey questions gather general information, like interesting places to people-watch and spots to relax outdoors, while others ask about services offered by local businesses such as the best place to get a good hamburger or to shop for unusual items.
All responses will be compiled and published in our annual special section to help you enjoy the ‘best Nanaimo’ summer ever.
For your help with the survey, your name goes into a draw for a grand prize of a $250 Woodgrove Centre gift card, a private sunset kayak tour around Newcastle Island for you and nine friends from Alberni Outpost, and a premium car for a weekend, courtesy of Budget Car Rentals.
There are also many mini prizes up for grabs as thanks for taking part in our survey.
So sharpen your pencils (or your computer keyboards) and fill out our survey.
The survey deadline is May 4. Surveys can be dropped off or mailed to our offices at 777 Poplar St.
The survey winners’ names will be announced in our Best of the City special issue in June.
A minimum 50 per cent of the questions must be answered. Limit one entry per person (one entry per IP address).
