By Andrea Tomkins For many area residents, the shop- ping 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 buy- ing discounted merchandise dur- ing 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 every aspect of a neighbourhood, from sponsorships of local teams and events, to providing valuable employment.” Mary Thorne, Executive Director of the Westboro Village BIA, agrees that it’s important to shop locally. “Local businesses are the life- blood of the communities we live in, not only providing us, close at hand, the products and services we need, but also adding a variety and vibrancy to the lifestyles we enjoy,” says Thorne. “Here in Westboro, for exam- ple, 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 busi- ness in this neighbourhood. We need to support that choice. Our local businesses are our neigh- bours too.” By supporting an independent store, coffee shop, or restaurant closer to home, shoppers are inject- ing 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.

For many area residents, the shop-ping 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 buy-ing discounted merchandise dur-ing 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
every aspect of a neighbourhood, from sponsorships of local teams and events, to providing valuable employment.”
Mary Thorne, Executive Director of the Westboro Village BIA, agrees that it’s important to shop locally.
“Local businesses are the life-blood of the communities we live in, not only providing us, close at hand, the products and services we need, but also adding a variety
and vibrancy to the lifestyles we enjoy,” says Thorne.
“Here in Westboro, for exam-ple, 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 busi-ness in this neighbourhood. We need to support that choice. Our local businesses are our neigh-bours too.”
By supporting an independent
store, coffee shop, or restaurant closer to home, shoppers are inject-ing 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.
