About us

Loud, local, and written by people who live here

Granny Panties Media is a small, independent publisher in British Columbia. We run five publications — each one written by people who actually eat, hike, drive and walk their dogs in the places they cover.

No business can buy a place in our rankings. Sponsored placements are always labelled, and corrections are welcome — tell us what we got wrong.

Editorial standards

  • We go in person. A listing only appears in our directories after someone on the team has stood in it.
  • No one buys a ranking. Sponsored placements are labelled and never ranked.
  • Named writers. Guides carry a byline, not an anonymous house voice.
  • Corrections are welcome. Tell us and we check it against the source before we change it.
