Our Local Small Business List:

From handmade treasures to cozy local eateries, each establishment is an invitation to join the movement of shopping “local”.

Every purchase from a small, local business is a direct investment in the livelihoods of your neighbours. It’s a decision to foster economic sustainability within your community, supporting the dreams and aspirations of those who call it home.

Amidst the allure of sales from global retail giants, it’s crucial to reflect on the environmental impact of our choices. Supporting local businesses is an inherently sustainable act, reducing the carbon footprint associated with mass production and long-distance shipping.

As we navigate the waves of post-Christmas and New Year sales, let’s embrace a mindful approach. Choosing quality over quantity and supporting local businesses not only ensures a more thoughtful consumption, but also fosters a sense of community connection.
