The North Bay and District Chamber of Commerce (NBDCC) is looking to area residents to ‘Step Out, Step Up and Shop Local.”
“This refreshing campaign encourages people to step into local businesses to show their support,” says Peter Chirico, NBDCC President and CEO. “Local businesses create jobs, support the local economy, give to local charities, sponsor youth sports and more. We really couldn’t exist without them.”
In a release, the Chamber says in an era when shopping online has become routine, local businesses have adapted and stepped up to offer unique products and services that are available both in person and online.
“You can also support by downloading one of our posters and adding it to your window or download the Step Out graphic to add to your social media account.” says Chirico.
“Businesses in our region have been greatly impacted by the pandemic.” says Rebecca McGlynn, NBDCC Board Chair. “The Chamber’s ‘Step Up’ campaign is being put into high gear to remind area residents that local businesses need support to thrive and stay open.”
