Regional Chair Gary Carr: Shop local this holiday season

Nov 23, 2023

As you create your holiday lists and plan meals with family and friends, I encourage you to consider shopping local for all your gifts, seasonal décor, and festive food. In the spirit of the season, I cannot think of a better way to support our friends and neighbours than by shopping local!

Many Halton businesses offer in-store and online options, making it easy to shop!

Purchase unique gifts, crafts, and specialty services from local retailers.

Plan your holiday menu with jams, specialty foods, and baked goods prepared by local farms.

If it is seasonal plants, wreaths, or Christmas trees you need, Halton nurseries, garden centres, and tree farms have you covered!

Holiday markets also offer fun activities and shopping for people of all ages! Enjoy hot cocoa and live music while exploring crafts and handmade jewelry from local vendors. There is something for everyone to enjoy!

Use our Simply Local virtual map to learn more about what is available in your community.

A strong and vibrant local economy helps keep Halton a great place to live, work, raise a family, and retire. I wish you all the best for a safe and happy holiday season!
