Thanks Karen Collacutt for sharing this post from Barrie Families Unite. This is a great initiative to support local businesses. And it’s appreciated very much. There is another local initiative on the way for a virtual marketplace – which I’ll share as soon as concrete information is available. #strongertogether

Good Morning! Our Barrie Families Unite Facebook Group: We promised to evolve and come back with some creative ways to support ALL our wonderful local small business owners. Today we are announcing TWO ways we are doing that.

#1) We look forward to sharing some creative posts in our group, from our local small business owners. Use hashtag: #shoplocal

#2) The Shop Local Business Directory is being created because we are consistently seeing posts of people looking for trades or pet grooming or ideas of online gift cards, etc. Fill out our 3 minute form and it will add YOUR business to the shop local directory.*

Please SHARE this post in your own feed and tag other business owners.

* The Shop Local Business Directory will be published early next week. We will take a few days of submissions, so that it gets some entries in it and then it will LIVE here on our page (new submissions will always automatically be populated in the Directory file).

Form Link to join Directory: https://forms.gle/6BZt8p2SxG8Aop2v7
