Everyone has a personal, passionate opinion on what’s best, whatever the category.

That’s underlined by the more than 30,000 readers of the Goldstream News Gazette who took to the time to give an all thumbs up to their favourite choice in more than 40 categories for Best of the West Shore 2018.

All of those voted into the top three in each category have been notified, with this year’s including some brand new names and some old favourites as well. While all of the nominees have been included in this year’s WestShore Awards Gala, there are still some tickets available if you don’t delay because more than 80 per cent have already been sold.

The WestShore Chamber of Commerce and the Goldstream News Gazette are hosting the event on Oct. 25 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Westin Bear Mountain.

Organizers are also accepting prize donations for the Guess to Win contest, with all proceeds going to a local charity.
