Port Coquitlam's stand-out businesses — as picked by their peers and city officials — were honoured at a municipal awards ceremony last week.
Sponsored in part by The Tri-City News, the fifth annual PoCo Best Biz saw four companies called to the podium to accept their trophies. They are:
• 4Cats Arts Studio, small business of the year;
• Awesome Possum Tutoring & Consulting, home-based business of the year;
• SuperValu, big business of the year;
• and Orrange Kitchen + Bar, employer of the year.
The 49 nominated businesses were also entered into the People's Choice category; a total of 435 out of 1,700 online votes were cast by the public for Dominion Lending Centres, which has its head office in PoCo and is the main sponsor for the PoCo Grand Prix.
