This is part of a year-long ‘Love for Local’ series called NB365: portraits of New Brunswick entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations. Huddle is a media partner with Love for Local. Today we feature Lorraine Cail-Byron and Colleen Edmonds of Olympia Allstar Cheerleading, in Moncton.

WE FOUND A SHARED INTEREST AND LOVE IN PROVIDING AN ATHLETIC ENVIRONMENT TO YOUNG GIRLS WHO WOULD SUPPORT EACH OTHER, TRAIN HARD, GAIN LIFELONG SKILLS, AND DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS WHILE DOING SO.

Local support and buying local is paramount in sharing our communities and succeeding in business. Our cheer families live here, work here and play here. When our local businesses and friends succeed, then we win, as well.

We build a community of giving and sharing. Our children learn the importance of hard-working families, where their food comes from, and the quality of goods right here in our own Maritime provinces and country.

We fall in love with local products and our neighbourhoods. Supporting local creates limitless positive impacts. It’s vital to our quality of life.
