Canadian Grocer reveals winners of 2023 photo contest!
Canadian Grocer is pleased to announce the winners of our first-ever photo contest!
Last September, we called on the grocery industry to submit their favourite pictures taken in 2023 for a chance to be featured on CanadianGrocer.com and in the February edition of the magazine.
Canadian Grocer’s editorial team thoroughly reviewed all submissions and selected the winning images based on originality and quality.
Without further ado, here are this year’s winners:
Save-On-Foods
First place
Save-On-Foods Pemberton Plaza in North Vancouver, B.C. is our first place winner!
In honour of Star Wars Day, May the 4th, the grocer collaborated with Coca-Cola on a Jedi-approved event and display.
The photo features regional director Naomi McLeod and team members Ralph Mangat, Rory Spence and Eric Schulz.

Saputo
Third place
Coming in third place is Saputo sales representative Sharon Gower's display at Market Street Vulcan in Alberta.
Inspired by the CPKC Holiday Train that was set to travel through the town, Gower's festive display prompted shoppers to "choo-choose" Armstrong Cheese for the holidays.
