Valentine’s Draw 2023 – Support Local Businesses

There are many reasons why Bloor West Village, Swansea and The Junction are such great places to live, and why homes there are such a hot commodity – it’s the central location close to a ton of amenities, it’s the high walkability of these neighborhoods, it’s all the green space, and last but definitely not least, it’s is the local businesses and what they provide to the residents if this area.

So, what do the following businesses have in common?

• Thorn Floral
• Baka Gallery Café
• Cool Hand of a Girl
• Capucci Salon
• The Cookery
• The Alpine Restaurant
• The Cheese Boutique
• Butternut Baking Co
• Gatto Wood Oven Pizza
• HER’S Fine Lingerie
• Skin & BodyFresh Med Clinic and Day Spa
• Lemon & Lavender

First, they are all successful, business offering excellent products, and they are all in these great neighbourhoods. But, most important (at least we think so) is that a $100 gift card from each business was given to each of the 12 lucky winners of Panda’s Valentine Draw!

This was our 3rd annual Valentine’s Draw in support of local businesses and we received over 300 entries. It was great fun choosing the winner with a real lottery drum, and you can see the action HERE in our FB live video! But the coolest part was when Panda met up in person (in Panda???) with each lucky winner to hand-deliver their prize! We sure do hope that each winner enjoyed the goodies with a special someone on Valentine’s day, because Panda did make sure the gift certificates were received in time for the 14th celebrations.

Once again the team would like to extend a big Thank You to everyone who took the time to enter our draw. We love our local businesses, and are truly delighted to use this opportunity to show them that.

We look forward to next year’s Valentine’s Panda Prize Draw since this year’s event was such a runaway success. There will be more chances to win, so keep an eye out….
