Shop Local This Holiday Season

The ADBIA’s Christmas Tree is up and this year we added even more lights to brighten up the season! Be sure to visit the tree in Millennium Park and tag the @adbiawv in your photos!

The Galleria at Grosvenor is home to many beautifully decorated trees and an oversized illuminated decoration for the perfect selfie. There will also be festive carol singing on December 11th, 15th, 18th and 22nd from noon until 2pm with the Silver Belles performing a wide array of Christmas songs to get you in the holiday spirit.

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.***

Another friendly reminder about the importance of shopping local. We cannot stress enough the difference this makes to our businesses all year long but particularly this time of year. Thank you to all that have made the effort to support your favourite shop or restaurant and to those that have explored new ones. It is being noticed and it does make a difference!
