If there has been anything positive coming out of this global pandemic, it is that we are focused more than ever on keeping our money local and supporting our friends, family, and neighbors by shopping local. And with good reason. There has never been a more important time than now to support the businesses in our community who keep much needed services in town, offer employment, and give back to our community by way of sponsorships and donations. 

It is however a challenge for many local businesses to safely and affordably open their doors. There are many ways you can still support these businesses, including buying gift certificates, pick-up orders, support them on social media etc.. And, there are many grants and funding opportunities in place to support small businesses through this time. Visit COVID-19 and Business for more information , including the Canada United Small Business Relief Fund - an initiative created to help businesses get ‘back to business’. This initiative has been created to help small Canadian businesses with their recovery efforts as a result of COVID-19. For more information on the grant and how to get your business and the community involved go to  https://www.gocanadaunited.ca/for-local-businesses  and  https://www.gocanadaunited.ca/
