How It Works
A simple three-step process to recognize excellence in your community
The CommunityVotes Process
Step 1: Nomination Period
The Nomination Period lets you recognize your favourite local businesses—like your trusted hairstylist or plumber—by nominating them for their great work, with the most-nominated in each category advancing to the Voting Round.
Step 2: Voting Period
During the Voting Period, you can support your favourite businesses by casting your vote—those with the most votes in each category will be crowned the best in the community.
Step 3: Winners Period
The Winners Period celebrates the top businesses in each category, with Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners, along with Top Pick honorable mentions. It's the final recognition of those who stood out in the community.
