TD Canada TrustB E S T B A N K / C R E D I T U N I O N / T R U S T

T 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 s a t i s f a c t ion 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 Canada Trust 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 KatieB E S T L A S E R H A I R R E M OVA L

From 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 acne-prone. “I offer only the highest-grade cosmeceutical skincare products and treatments,” Katie explains. “My skincare programs are results-oriented and the products are loaded

with the most advanced science-based 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 [email protected] or visit www.mebykatie.com

Dairy QueenB E S T D E S S E RT S

Anytime 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.

Burger HeavenB E S T B U R G E R J O I N T

Summertime is grilling time and fortunately for New Westminster locals there’s an eatery that serves

up some of the city’s best burgers – Burger Heaven. For more than three decades, when people hunger for a mouth-watering burgers, they head to this multiple Reader’s Choice winner.

General manager Chris Geib believes that its longevity and success is the result of a simple recipe: “We are one of a few, if not, the only burger restaurant that is full service. I believe that makes a big a difference. There is no placing your order at the till then waiting for your number to be called. This I believe makes the experience at Burger Heaven much more enjoyable.”

You can choose from a unique selection of hamburgers, such as the buffalo and elk burgers, or for those seafood lovers there’s a cod burger. In addition, its top 10 list features its #1 BBQ cheddar and bacon burger (sinfully delicious), and a breaded chicken, cheddar and mozzarella or a teriyaki grilled chicken with Swiss cheese and bacon. No matter what you are craving, there’s a burger that will satisfy. There’s even a selection of To Die For specialty burgers!

Burger Heaven has a large loyal clientele who come week after week for one of its award-winning burgers. It also helps

that the eatery uses only the freshest ingredients possible and the staff is friendly and helpful. Since its inception, the emphasis has been on tantalizing all of your senses while providing service that is second to none.

Over the years, Burger Heaven has garnered a number of accolades and awards from Yelp, Dine Here, and of course the New Westminster Record.

Giving back to the community that has supported them throughout the years is important. Burger Heaven regularly donates to local charities, schools and sport teams.

When you hunger for a really good hamburger head to Burger Heaven, located at #77 10th St. New Westminster. You are guaranteed a great burger, excellent service and a fun atmosphere. For more information, call 604-522-8339 or visit www.Burgerheaven.ca.

Mid-Century Modern HomeB E S T V I N TA G E S TO R E

Mid-Century Modern Home has much to celebrate. Since opening its doors six years ago, its list of clientele keeps

growing … as do the honours.

As a Readers’ Choice award winner, savvy entrepreneur/proprietor Jenny Cashin believes her success is due in part to being blessed with a keen eye for interior design and for unearthing quality vintage finds. “In a way, my work is a combination of excavation and rescue--unearthing the hidden gems that have often been poorly treated, and rescuing them from the landfill with a multi-talented team that has the passion and skills to reconstruct, restore and sometimes even resurrect pieces and bring them back to be appreciated and loved again.”

This distinctive furnishings store is unlike anything New Westminster had seen before, which attracts residents from all over the Lower Mainland.

Cashin first opened her store on Front Street, subletting the upstairs of antique store Urban Treasures. By April 2009, she took over an empty storefront a few doors down - officially launching Mid-Century Modern Home on Antique Alley. Late in 2012, Mark Shieh of River Market at Westminster Quay approached Jenny about moving to the market. In January, 2013, Jenny took the plunge and never looked back. “There’s never been a day that I doubted our move and the business has been steadily

growing,” adds Jenny. “Our store is very unique in that we feature Danish Modern teak and rosewood furniture, lighting and decor from the 50s and 60s that is all restored, refinished and reupholstered. We also carry lots of vintage collectables, art glass and pottery.”

Drawn to an era when things were masterfully hand-made, her customers understand that their purchases are 50 to 60 years old, and yet made new again, and will go on to be heirlooms - to be handed down from generation to generation.

Jenny credits her great team of professionals - from the skilled trades such as her refinisher, whom she once taught but who has far surpassed her skills, to her associate who grew her refinishing skills and became Jenny’s main furniture consigner, to her local upholsterer, whose business has grown hand in hand with hers. “I believe it’s about empowering people, building collaborations with other trades and small businesses, as this work could never be done by one person alone.”

Mid-Century Modern Home is located at 801 Quayside Drive (west entrance). For more information, call 604-515-1865 or visit Facebook at

Hon’s Wun-Tun House B E S T C H I N E S E F O O D

You don’t have to go to Chinatown for really good Chinese

food.

When residents in New Westminster crave mouth-watering Chinese food, they head to Hon’s Wun-Tun House.

Once again, The Record readers have voted Hon’s the best Chinese restaurant in the city.

“This year is very special to us as we celebrate our 27th anniversary serving New Westminster,” says Ivan Lung. “We will carry on the Hon’s tradition of serving quality food at reasonable prices with friendly service.”

Hon’s serves irresistible authentic Cantonese dishes with great service at a reasonable price, which certainly brings people coming back for more.

Choose from one of Hon’s Wun-Tun House’s amazing dishes – from

BBQ pork with soft tofu and curry beef brisket with potato, to the Buddhist feast of vegetables and sautéed scallops with broccoli.

Other signature dishes include curry seafood, fried rice, prawn and chicken with fresh snow peas and stir-fried mussel in black bean sauce.

Hon’s reflects the cuisine’s wide array of flavours and offerings from dim sum to fusion dishes. From something simple like the warm satisfaction of clay pot rice with steamed vegetables, to rich comfort food offerings give plenty of reason to head to New Westminster for Chinese eats.

Come and visit them for some traditional cuisine from the Orient and check out its fall specials. Hon’s Wun-Tun House is located at 408 6th Street, New Westminster. For more information, call 604-520-6661.

Big Star Sandwich CompanyBEST SANDWICH & BEST SERVICE

W hen New Westminster residents yearn for a truly delicious sandwich, they head to Big

Star Sandwich Company. Locals, as well as visitors, come back because of its mouthwatering home-style sandwiches.

At the helm is visionary and sandwich a f i c i o n a d o Clint Bondzuk, who along with his wife and co-owner Julie Rule, offer up some d o w n - h o m e friendliness with the best quality, organic meats and products in the city.

“We’ve tried to make really good sandwiches like you’d make at home but you don’t have to cook an entire turkey or roast (we do it instead) and match them up with great tasting sauces (and those hickory sticks!),” says Julie.

Clint is extremely picky about his ingredients and is a stickler for local and fresh produce and only serves the best cuts of meat.

Born out of Clint’s desire for a truly amazing sandwich, the eatery opened its

doors on March 19th, 2013 and customers came … in droves!

These sandwiches are so good, the local fire fighters and police officers are regulars. In addition, they are garnering rave reviews

on social media, i n c l u d i n g Urban spoon , Yelp and a number of food bloggers as well. So, it’s no surprise Big Star Sandwich Company won 2014 Readers’ Choice award.

The dynamic young couple cares about the community. They regularly donate sandwiches and/or gift certificates to local charities, including the Royal City Farmers markets’ fundraiser, dry grad night, lacrosse team, Canadian Cancer Society and Special Olympics of BC golf tournament, to name a few.

Discover how good a sandwich taste at the Big Star Sandwich Company, located at 705 12th St., New Westminster. For more information, call 604-521-0019 or visit bigstarsandwich.com. They are also on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Stephen Graf & CompanyL AW F I R M

A 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. For more information, call 604-314-5700, email [email protected] or visit www.stephengraf.com.

The Wine FactoryB E S T W I N E / B E E R M A K I N G ( O N P R E M I S E )

T here’s something satisfying about making your own batch of really good wine. At the Wine Factory, you not

only get to make great wine but you do it in an old world wine cellar atmosphere.

The Wine Factory offers state-of-the-art equipment, the largest selection, expertise and the best guarantee to help consumers make great wines at affordable prices.

With the closing of RJ Spagnol’s, they now stock a greater selection of retail products, including Brew House beer kits.

“Our focus is on customer satisfaction and service, service, service,” says Harm Woldring, President and General Manager. “We have a ‘No Questions Asked’ replacement policy if you don’t like it for any reason we’ll replace it.”

It comes as no surprise that each year this family-run business wins the Readers’ Choice award. With more than five decades of combined experience in the industry, everyone is extremely knowledgeable and professional.

In addition, wine making demands sanitary conditions. Over and over again, customers

comment on how spotlessly clean the Wine Factory is.

“We’re proud of that,” says Harm, adding the store has garnered numerous accolades from the local Chamber of Commerce,

including A-List every year and Small Business of the year. “You can save money and make wine part of your daily lifestyle.”

Proud to be part of the city, Harm says they contribute regularly to numerous local charitable and community organizations.

He is also a current and past member of a number of nonprofit organizations, such as the NW Chamber of Commerce, Hyack Festival Association, the Kenneth Gordon Foundation, Kenneth Gordon School and the Association of Professional Economists of BC. He is currently Chair of the New West Parking Commission, VP of the Downtown New Westminster BIA, and Chair Person of Parkcrest Child Care Society.

From novice to expert; you’ll find everything you need! The Wine Factory has been in New Westminster for more than two decades so you know that the staff will ensure you make the best quality wine. For more information, visit www.winefactory.ca.

Royal Tandoori Indian RestaurantB E S T I N D I A N

A nother year and another Readers’ Choice award for the Royal Tandoori Indian Restaurant. In the heart of New

Westminster’s uptown district, the Royal Tandoori consistently boasts mouthwatering authentic North Indian food coupled with great service and a warm décor.

Your taste buds will never disappoint because they offer ethnic cuisine that burst with flavour. The eatery is a quaint, distinctive restaurant that is consistently voted one of the finest in Indian cuisine. For 18 years now, owner and chef Jasminder Singh, and his wife Kulwinder Sandhu, have been welcoming legions of loyal clientele.

Jasminder has been in the food industry for more than three decades, having run a successful restaurant in India for more than 20 years.

Start your culinary adventure with some of Jasminder’s famous Nan bread. He prepares it fresh every day and offers a choice of regular Nan or Nan with garlic, onion, chicken, potatoes (Allu) or spinach. Spread some of his signature Dhai Bhalla, which is ground lentil balls in yogurt, or some delicious Raita, made of yogurt and cucumbers, on the bread for a flavoursome

appetizer. If you prefer, go for some authentic samosas or vegetarian Pakauras to start your meal.

One of Jasminder’s family recipes is the delectable mango butter chicken, which is a culinary delight, prepared in clay over with herbs, tomatoes, cream and a delicious mango butter sauce.

For those who are vegetarians, the Royal Tandoori offers a number of choices. Bask in the succulent Jalfrezi Curry, a mix of vegetables cooked in his own curry made with fresh tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic and spices; or try the Veggi Korma, a blend of mixed vegetables cooked in creamy sauce made daily in the restaurant’s kitchen.

Whether it is a quick lunch, an intimate evening for two or to celebrate any occasion as a group, Royal Tandoori aims to please. The restaurant seats 70 inside.

Hyack FestivalB E S T A N N U A L F E S T I VA L

O ne of the longest running premiere arts and cultural festivals in British Columbia has garnered another

Readers’ Choice award.

The 43rd Annual Hyack Festival has become an iconic local celebration, featuring activities for all ages, free live performances by well-known local artists, great food, as well as the beloved Hyack International Parade.

In addition, Hyack represents New Westminster in different communities throughout the province and the Pacific Northwest during parades and other events, including Washington State, Portland Oregon, Penticton, Vancouver, White Rock, Port Moody, Steveston and Cloverdale.

As one of the oldest festivals in the prov-ince, the free Hyack Week events including the well-known Hyack International Parade gives residents and visitors a fun filled expe-rience that is great for the whole family. It’s an important event for New Westminster and provides a sense of community for everyone involved … lots of effort, by many volunteers, goes into making this a quality party.

Another equally important aspect of the Hyack is the events its members take part in for worthy local causes.

The Board, Past Presidents, members, Ambassadors and volunteers take a very active role in New Westminster. This year we participated in Sapperton Day, the Save On Foods and Menchie opening, the Queen’s Park Hospital Tea, NWSS Rock Solid, NWSS EcoFest, hosted the May Day Tea, the Hyack Festival banquet, Canada Day Events on the River, Hyack International Parade and Street Fair, Hyack Antique Fair, and out of town festivals and parades.”

The committee is looking forward to its Ambassador Alumni participating in the Hyack Football Homecoming, Remembrance Day Service, Home for the Holidays and various Christmas Events.

For a full schedule of events, visit www.hyack.bc.ca.

White SpotB E S T B U S I N E S S L U N C H & C A S U A L FA M I LY D I N I N G

W hite Spot New Westminster has become synonymous with great service, great food and great

people.

Once again, local residents proclaimed White Spot as Best Casual Family Dining and Best Business Lunch in the Readers Choice Awards.

“We feel a great sense of pride for winning the Readers Choice Awards,” says Mathew Oommen, General Manager.

Oommen says the legendary restaurant has an unbeatable combination of affordability, proximity and a menu offering something for everyone.

“Another key to our success is that we promise to do whatever it takes to keep our customers happy,” says Oommen.

White Spot is truly considered part of our province’s heritage and pride. 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?”

So, Bailey hired three strapping young

guys to take orders. And thus began one of the most enduring stories of phenomenal success in the industry. Nat’s energy and his passion for service set the stage for the first White Spot drive-in, which he opened in 1928 on Granville Street at 67th Avenue in Vancouver.

That commitment to excellence is echoed at New Westminster White Spot, and is evident in the number of awards the location has garnered over the years.

This summer, enjoy your favourite White Spot fare while taking in some sun on their great outdoor patio.

For breakfast, lunch or dinner, White Spot is the place to be for great eats in a fun, casual atmosphere. White Spot New Westminster is located at #134 610 6th Street in Royal City centre with plenty of free parking. For more information, call 604-522-4800 or visit www.whitespot.com.

White Spot New Westminster is open Sunday to Thrusday 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, and Friday and Saturday 8:00 am to 10:30 pm. Bring home White Spot’s legendary taste, for take-out call 604-310-SPOT (7788) or order online at www.whitespot.ca.

River’s Reach PubB E S T N E I G H B O U R H O O D P U B & C O L D B E E R & W I N E S TO R E

W here are you going to find an upscale pub, with real brick, authentic fireplaces and oak antiques throughout, that

offers culinary cuisine at pub fare prices?

Locals and loyal clientele would tell you River’s Reach Pub.

For 14 years in a row, the award-winning pub has been the number one choice for Reader’s Choice awards readers for Best Pub and the last 4 years for the best cold Beer and Wine Store categories.

River’s Reach seems to evoke that feeling from the television hit show Cheers, where everybody knows your name and they are happy you are there.

“I think what makes us standout each and every year, is our food quality, which is complimented by our great selection of craft and domestic beers and wines, as well as our great ambiance,” says Peter Saran, its general manager for a dozen years. “We always try to re-invent ourselves but most importantly, the food should always be fresh.”

The menu offers a host of signature dishes, including its wildly popular appetizer

selection and its fresh burgers and any one of its mouthwatering salads.

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.”

The pub offers a nice selection of local, craft, domestic and international beers.

“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.

River’s Reach is also about good times – Come and join their Football Club and Canucks’ Club.

River’s Reach Pub is located on the hillside at 320 Sixth Street.

Royal City CentreB E S T S H O P P I N G C E N T R E / M A L L

F or more than three decades, Royal City Centre has been a landmark in New

Westminster and an integral part of the city. Formally the Woodward’s Centre, residents from all over the Lower Mainland come to shop at this vibrant mall. It’s no wonder it’s been voted Readers’ Choice Award for Best Shopping Centre for several years in a row.

Royal City Centre is the anchor of the Uptown District, with more than 40 shops and services to serve the community, everything from jewelery, art, décor shops, fashion, shoes, leather, music and several other type of stores make the mall a must visit place for shopping lover.

There is also a food court, banks, Shoppers Drug Mart, bookstore, Save-On-Foods, Gourmet Cup coffeehouse, eye care, dental and medical clinics and much more. Getting all these things under one roof gives an awesome shopping experience.

“Now, RCC is home to the Fraser Health Authority’s Kidney Dialysis Unit,” says Jennifer Clarke, Marketing Director for RCC.

“We’re excited that Walmart will be opening a 90,000 square foot Supercentre in 2015 that will span two levels and include a supermarket and full-service bakery.”

Clarke credits its resounding success to its selection of quality retailers and service-providers, dedicated operations staff and customer loyalty.

The shopping centre has a long rich history of supporting the local community. The mall takes part in a number of fundraising efforts every year, as well as welcoming nonprofit and charitable organizations to the centre to host its fundraising goals, including New Westminster’s largest volunteer festival in January. In addition, Royal City Centre is a presenting sponsor of Uptown Live, New Westminster’s premier summer music event. There is also a 200-seat community room available free of charge to any charitable organization or group.
