Appreciate local food and agriculture?
Nominations are now open for the second annual We Heart Local awards.
Organizers invite B.C. residents to nominate their favourites in 15 categories ranging from favourite farmers’ market to favourite local winery.
“The We Heart Local Awards is a celebration of the interest and love British Columbians have for great-tasting local foods, and the incredible amount of options from land and sea that we have to choose from,” says B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. “I encourage all British Columbians to support B.C. producers by voting in the We Heart Local Awards, and by purchasing and enjoying local products year round.”
Nominations are open to Sept. 1. Anyone living in B.C. can nominate one or more favourites in the 15 categories by visiting www.weheartlocalawards.ca. Voting is then open from Sept. 2 to Sept. 16.
By nominating and voting for your B.C. favourites, you’re automatically entered in a weekly draw to win a $100 gift card to your local farmers’ market. There is also a grand prize which will be drawn Sept. 17.
