Healing Cedar Wellness wins "Best Customer Service" in the 2012 Port Moody Spike Business Awards!

What a night it was! It was our first time attending the Port Moody Spike Business Awards and we had a blast! We were so happy to have been invited and nominated. We all dressed up for the event. At 7 pm we enjoyed a glass of wine and some appetizers, while mingling and meeting other Port Moody business owners. Edina took this opportunity to hand out a free Infrared Sauna coupon to every single person attending: way to warm up the city for the upcoming winter.

At 8 pm, we all gathered at the Inlet Theater and filled up the seats: the excitement was palpable in the room. City council, Diana Dilworth did a great job hosting the event. We saw a 15 minute power point presentation by Dave on the huge business benefits of Facebook. Duly noted Dave: we're promoting our blog through Facebook right now :)

More than 250 businesses were nominated by the public of Port Moody and beyond, in 6 categories. We were so humbled to be among great Port Moody businesses such as: Gallaghers Coffee Bar, Veracis Meditation & Wellness Centre, The Runner's Den, The Village Toy Shop, Kushala Yoga, MINT Hair Lounge, Impulse Sport Therapeutics and many more!

Clara needled Shannon on stage, to calm her down before her speech. Apparently it worked, she did a great job and the crowd loved it. Desirée Dupuis from Three Sixty Financial group, made us laugh out loud and won the "speech award": well deserved!

We were humbled and very pleased: Healing Cedar Wellness won the 2012 Spike Award for "Best Customer Service".  Thank you everyone who voted for us, we are thrilled you thought of us. Having been recognized by our Port Moody community was the best gift we could have received in our first year in business.
