BLOG: Riverside Local Love is back October 6th! Here’s How it Works

If you entered the raffle and didn’t get lucky this week, don’t worry, we have one more Weekly Draw to go and our Grand Prize Raffle, of course!

This week, we’ve got testimonials from batch 2 of our Weekly Draw winners. Here’s what they had to say about their favourite Riverside businesses:

“I chose The Broadview Hotel because it’s historic and a good representation of Riverside. It’s a place I’ve been meaning to try for a very long time. I always support local and any opportunity to do that like participating in Riverside Local Love is always good. The campaign definitely motivated me to try out other places in Riverside.” – Simon

“As someone into thrifting, I love Ran’s Closet because they carry a lot of unique pieces. I’m always on the lookout for something refreshing and different, and I think Ran’s Closet offers that. Riverside Local Love as an initiative is good in supporting local and encouraging others to give back to the businesses in the neighbourhood.” – MG

“I’ve been to a few places in Riverside so I figured winning Riverside Local Love would be a good opportunity to continue to explore more businesses in the area. I heard a lot of good things about Bonjour Brioche so I look forward to coming here for brunch! I’ve always supported local; Riverside Local Love raffle is an added incentive to do so.” – Richard
