Earlier this fall, we wrote about the NOW Reader’s Choice Best of Toronto. Winning businesses were publicly announced in the November issue of the magazine. People were able to vote from June until September. Prior to that, a two month nomination period was open so businesses could self nominate or be recommended by others. Lucky for us, some Liberty Village businesses either won or were the runner ups. Take a moment and congratulate those businesses and shop local when possible.
