Kerrisdale Idol's 6th Annual contest was the best ever. The maximum of 30 contestants of all ages and from all over the Lower Mainland competed before a live audience resulting in a wonderful 5 hours of diverse entertainment. In the end, one 12 year old girl from Coquitlam took the main prize of $1000.

Kirsten Kwong, seen in the photo above, presented the judges with an irresistible winning package as she wrote her own original score and sang while accompanying herself on the guitar.

The five runners-up all received $100 gift certificates donated by the Hills of Kerrisdale clothing store and can come back next year to compete for the big prize.

Judges this year included up-and-coming Director Sam Trounce, TV Producer Erin Shaw, Jessie Award winner Ryan Beil and Talent Time creator and producer Paul Anthony.

Kerrisdale Holiday Window Contest Winner Announced

Each year the Kerrisdale Business Association encourages businesses to dress up their store fronts for the season of lights. To promote the area and get folks in a festive mood the KBA sponsors a Window Contest. This year the judges took their 2 hour walk on one of the coldest nights of the year with hot chocolate in one hand and a sharp pencil in the other to keep track of all potential contenders.

In the end it was unanimously agreed that a new business to the area, Nestings, had the most beautiful display. This fashionable children’s shop, features all the items required to feather the nest of new arrivals. Taking this theme a step further they designed one window in shades of blue and the other in pink, including lights. The end result is lovely and could compete with any stylish shop on New York’s Madison Avenue.

Pictured above is KBA President Colin Holyk (Kerrisdale Pharmacy) with Nestings employees Sherry Jeffery and Yann Berube. The window design was created by store Manager Tracy Pederson. We are sure that store owners JJ Scott and Deanna Aquilini are very proud of their most creative “flock”!

Snow Removal in the Kerrisdale Business District

As the winter season approaches it is timely to review snow removal rules for business district sidewalks. To be clear, business owners should know that they are responsible to clear the sidewalk in front of their building of snow and ice by 10 am as this is a City of Vancouver By-law. More importantly, by keeping on top of the shoveling and de-icing, you keep your business accessible for loyal neighbourhood patrons who rely on nearby services.
