Our Shop Local Brantford-Brant campaign is now well underway!

It has been great to be able to reach out and work with a number of local businesses to develop the products, services, and features of the campaign and to learn and share more about the specific economic, social, and community benefits of allocating a portion of your holiday, grocery, goods, and services spending to small businesses and entrepreneurs in our community.

The Chamber is just one of the dozens of Chambers and Boards of Trade running Shop Local programs this fall and early winter across the province. Our rapid screening kit program continues to be popular and our Wine, Women, and Shopping Event is just one week away, featuring our popular local, but internationally known comedian Graham Chittenden. Let the dynamic Canadian November weather guide you to our local shops and services.

Stay safe, and shop local!

Thank you,
