This month is a time of twinkling lights, festive tunes and celebrations. Here are five reasons to get outdoors and explore our community, while supporting our local businesses.
1. You’ll get into the festive spirit and explore new places. Wrap up warm, go for a walk, take in the lights and the festive atmosphere.
2. You’ll find unique or one-of-a-kind items made locally – perfect for that person who seems to have everything!
3. You’ll build personal connections and get great service.
4. Money spent in our community circulates in our community.
5. You’re supporting small businesses – families, your neighbours, your friends and favourite retailers.
