Shop Local This Holiday Season

As a thank you to those that support our local businesses all year long, we are pleased to display our beautiful 30′ Christmas tree in Millennium Park. It shines as beacon of light and gratitude over the holidays.

With the support of our residents and visitors, our local shops and services are able to continue to serve our community.

This year has been particularly challenging for many of our businesses, so if you are struggling to find the perfect gift for someone, please consider a gift certificate to a local restaurant, shop, or service.

While shopping online is convenient and easy, the extra effort to purchase locally makes a huge difference to not only the business owner, but to the local economy as a whole. For every dollar spent in a local business, $0.63 is kept in the community, creating an economic impact of up to 4.6 times greater than a dollar spent non-locally.

Give the gift of helping your favourite restaurant or shop by supporting them this holiday season! Many of our businesses offer free gift wrapping, personalized shopping and home delivery. And don’t forget to take advantage of these Holiday Specials.

***If you need help with gift suggestions, pick up and delivery of a gift certificate or item, or anything else that might make shopping local easier for you, please EMAIL US and we will do our very best to make the stress of shopping a little bit easier.***
