Supporting local means supporting a family in their livelihood. It is the difference between being able to make it and not. Supportive communities all around the province are allowing people to do what they do best, which is being an entrepreneur who’s there for their community. Supporting local businesses has a real impact because we all make up our community and therefore have a responsibility to support one another.
