Keep it Local
Looking to get involved in your community? Check out these volunteering opportunities within the town of Smiths Falls! http://www.smithsfalls.ca/volunteering.cfm
As a community-minded organization, we always encourage people to support local businesses whenever possible. When you shop locally, you help to stimulate the local economy, which keeps our neighbours, family and friends in business. Not only does shopping local help on a financial level, it reinforces a sense of community in our town which is equally important.
Keep It Local does not mean isolating your community from the outside world. It means supporting local businesses and helping your community to be more self-reliant.
Why Keep It Local? In a healthy economy, local initiatives can…
Help a community to remain stable through economic change.
Generate local dollars and keep those same dollars within the local economy.
Build a united community with loyalty to local business.
Place focus on the strengths of your community, unique features which attract tourists local spending.
Create employment.

– Support businesses through community events

– Business-to-Business promotion
– Social Media to promote local events
