Long love local Will you pledge to shop locally in 2015? By Andrea Tomkins
For many area residents, the shopping doesn’t end on December 25, it’s just the beginning. It’s easy to understand why. As retailers move stock to make room for 2015 products, it becomes the best time of year to find fabulous deals. However, the act of shopping locally means more than just buying discounted merchandise during Boxing Week, it has an impact
on our community. “The importance of supporting your neighbourhood merchants cannot be understated,” says Zachary Dayler, Executive Director, of the Wellington West Business Improvement Area. “Small business make up more than 90 per cent of employers in Canada, and by shopping local you are participating in the healthy growth of the local economy, which has positive impacts on

and vibrancy to the lifestyles we enjoy,” says Thorne. “Here in Westboro, for example, we have a number of local shops, restaurants and services that are exclusive to Westboro only,” says Thorne. The owners have chosen to set up their business in this neighbourhood. We need to support that choice. Our local businesses are our neighbours too.” By supporting an independent

store, coffee shop, or restaurant closer to home, shoppers are injecting cash in their own communities; helping them become a more vibrant, interesting, and ultimately, more attractive places to live. “Working local shopping into your routine also reminds us that what we consider “home” is dependent on our collective efforts,” adds Dayler. So join us, and choose to shop locally in 2015.
