TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2025 / Sewer Squad Plumbing & Drain Services has been named the 2025 Consumer Choice Award winner in the Drainage and Sewer Services category for the Greater Toronto Area. This recognition celebrates more than just technical expertise – it highlights Sewer Squad’s commitment to doing business differently: treating customers with respect, communicating openly, and delivering solutions without pressure or gimmicks.

Founded on the promise of straightforward service done right, Sewer Squad has built a reputation as a company homeowners can trust when the unexpected happens. The team is known for offering clear explanations, upfront pricing, and technicians who treat every home as if it were their own.

A People-First Approach

From its earliest days, Sewer Squad has believed that plumbing doesn’t have to be complicated, stressful, or intimidating. Instead of sales tactics or scare strategies, the focus has always been on education, transparency, and peace of mind.

“This award shows people see the way we do things. Our values guide us every day. We show up authentic, proactive, passionate and even bring some humour into the work. Homeowners trust that and it means a lot to be recognized for it.” – Phil Stinner, Owner

Recognition Rooted in Trust

The Consumer Choice Award is based on community feedback, making it a true reflection of how a business is perceived by the people it serves. For Sewer Squad, being recognized is proof that its values of honesty, reliability, and professionalism resonate with homeowners across the GTA.

“We are proud to be recognized by the Consumer Choice Award because it comes directly from the people we serve,” the Sewer Squad team adds. “For us, it’s more than a business achievement – it’s proof that taking care of people the right way still matters.”

Skilled Service Backed by Values

Sewer Squad offers a wide range of drainage and sewer solutions, from routine maintenance and emergency repairs to advanced diagnostics and sewer line replacements. But beyond the tools and technical skills, what sets the company apart is its culture: a commitment to respect, clear communication, and building long-term trust.

Built through Word-Of-Mouth

Rather than relying heavily on advertising, Sewer Squad has grown through referrals and repeat clients. Each service call is treated as an opportunity to build a lasting relationship – and that customer-driven growth has become the foundation of the company’s success.

Looking Ahead

With the 2025 Consumer Choice Award as a milestone, Sewer Squad remains focused on serving the Greater Toronto Area with integrity and care. For the team, this recognition isn’t just a business achievement – it’s motivation to keep proving that plumbing can be straightforward, honest, and people-centred.

“We want ‘call the Squad’ to be the first thing people think of when they need plumbing, and to grow into a trusted household name in the GTA and across Canada. We’ll keep proving it with honest, straightforward service every day.” – Phil Stinner, Owner

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2025 / Lyons Elite Luxury Matchmaking, one of North America’s most exclusive matchmaking firms, has been named the 2025 Consumer Choice Award recipient in the Dating Services category for Toronto Central. Founded by award-winning entrepreneur Emily Lyons, the agency is known for delivering a bespoke matchmaking experience designed for high-achieving, relationship-minded individuals.

Since 2014, Lyons Elite has set the gold standard in personalized, discreet matchmaking. Built by request from some of Emily Lyons’ most discerning clients, the agency offers a curated, high-touch approach that prioritizes values, compatibility, and lasting connection-far beyond the surface-level matches of traditional dating platforms.

A Vision Built on Precision and Discretion

Lyons Elite was created with one goal: to elevate the dating experience for those who refuse to settle. With an exclusive client roster that includes executives, entrepreneurs, creatives, and athletes, the agency offers a matchmaking experience that is deeply personal, highly selective, and profoundly intentional.

“Our clients don’t chase love-they delegate the search to us,” says the Lyons Elite team. “We conduct a refined, proactive search based on long-term compatibility, shared values, and the kind of chemistry you can’t quantify in an app.”

The agency only accepts a limited number of clients at a time, ensuring the integrity of its elite network and allowing matchmakers to offer their signature level of strategy, care, and discretion.

Founder & CEO Emily Lyons: A Matchmaker by Design

At the helm of Lyons Elite is Emily Lyons, a serial entrepreneur with a decade-long reputation for connecting extraordinary people. Widely featured in outlets such as Vogue, Forbes, and Cosmopolitan, Emily is also the founder of Femme Fatale Media and clean beauty brand True Glue.

Her instinctive ability to understand people-and align them with both opportunity and one another-has made her one of the most trusted names in luxury matchmaking.

“Creating meaningful relationships requires more than data. It takes emotional intelligence, intuition, and vision,” says Lyons. “Lyons Elite was built to deliver that level of intentionality to those who expect more from life and love.”

An Elevated, Five-Step Matchmaking Process

Lyons Elite clients go through a thoughtfully designed five-phase process that includes private consultations, curated profiles, a professional photoshoot, and intentional introductions supported by expert coaching. Matches are hand-selected-not algorithm-generated-ensuring each connection is grounded in real compatibility and long-term potential.

Whether serving clients in Toronto, across Canada, or internationally, the firm’s matchmakers work quietly behind the scenes to deliver exceptional results with absolute discretion.

Recognition Backed by Results

The 2025 Consumer Choice Award is based on independent research, consumer feedback, and brand reputation. For Lyons Elite, this recognition affirms its standing as a leader in modern matchmaking and a trusted partner in its clients’ most personal journeys.

“We are honoured to receive this award,” says the Lyons Elite team. “It reflects the care and integrity we bring to every match and the trust our clients place in us to help shape one of the most important parts of their lives.”

As digital dating continues to evolve, Lyons Elite remains committed to offering an intentional alternative-one rooted in strategy, humanity, and high standards. With a growing international network and continued focus on deep compatibility, the agency will continue to lead the way in modern relationship building.

Feasibility studies to begin shortly | Targeting operations by end of 2026

HIGHLIGHTS

• Challenger JORC (2012) Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) grows to 313koz Au (10.6Mt @ 0.92 g/t), incl. 194koz Au (1.87Mt @ 3.23 g/t) in existing open pit and underground mines:

  • Challenger Main Open Pit: 70,000oz Au (0.65Mt @ 3.36 g/t Au);

  • Challenger West Open pit: 11,600oz Au (0.03Mt @ 10.7 g/t Au);

  • Challenger Underground (above 215mRL): 89,400oz Au (0.98Mt @ 2.84 g/t Au); and

  • Challenger Deeps (below 90mRL): 23,000oz Au (0.21Mt @ 3.50 g/t Au).

• Almost all MRE mineralisation located in, on, or adjacent to, existing serviceable open pit and underground development – opportunities for low-cost access and production

• Preliminary estimate for full reinstatement of 600ktpa Central Gawler Mill only A$26m (± 30%)

• Targeting lower-cost, de-risked two phase transition to operations, with initial high-grade tailings reprocessing (as Phase 1), followed by restart of fresh rock operations (as Phase 2)

• Technical programs moving directly to definitive Feasibility, targeting operations by end of 2026; conversations underway with financiers for low-dilution credit financing options

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 7, 2025 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce an updated MRE for its South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger). This follows detailed remodelling of gold mineralisation on or near existing development drives within the historical Challenger underground mine (below the 900mRL level). This mineralisation was temporarily removed from Barton’s recent 30 June 2025 Challenger MRE update, pending final remodelling and re-estimation.

Full details are contained in the complete announcement, which can be accessed on the ASX website, the investor section of Barton’s website, or directly by clicking here.

Commenting on the Challenger JORC Resources update, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:

“With gold Resources of over 300,000oz now confirmed adjacent to the Central Gawler Mill, the pieces are now in place for the startup of an initial multi-year ‘Stage 1′ operation. This represents a significant opportunity for Barton to join a select few of its peers by transitioning to operations at a period of record high gold prices.

“Our fully permitted Central Gawler Mill also offers considerable leverage in successfully delivering this outcome, with a potentially shorter, lower-cost, and lower-risk pathway to operations and BGD’s re-rating to ‘producer’ status. A successful outcome could then generate revenues and cash flow to fund our planned regional growth.

“We are now moving directly to definitive Feasibility studies targeting a two phase, de-risked development and the start of initial ‘Stage 1′ operations by the end of 2026. Barton has a very exciting 18 months ahead as we navigate this next stage of our corporate evolution.”

Authorised by the Managing Director of Barton Gold Holdings Limited.
