Why support local
When you support Georgina businesses, you help:
- Strengthen the local economy by keeping more spending within the community.
- Support local jobs and entrepreneurs who live and work in Georgina.
- Build vibrant downtowns and neighbourhoods by supporting the businesses that give them character.
- Support local makers, artists and farmers and the products grown, made and created here.
- Create connections through the personalized service and community relationships local businesses provide.
To support our business community, the Georgina Chamber of Commerce, with the support of the Town of Georgina, launched a 'shop local' campaign in 2020. Learn more about the campaign and view a business directory at shoplocalgeorgina.ca.
Support High Street during construction
High Street is evolving. As work continues on the High Street reconstruction project, local businesses remain open and ready to welcome you. Construction can be challenging for small businesses, making your support more important than ever. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee or a meal, shopping locally, or accessing a service, every visit helps support the businesses that make High Street a vibrant part of our community.
The improvements underway will help create a more welcoming, accessible and vibrant downtown for residents, businesses and visitors for years to come. In the meantime, we encourage you to continue visiting High Street, supporting local and showing our downtown businesses some love.
Learn about the project, including construction updates, at georgina.ca/HighStreet.
You can also follow the Downtown Sutton BIA on Facebook for updates, local business features, events and more ways to support High Street.
