#SupportLocalYYC

Starting to go a little crazy here at @Trolley_5 . I hope EVERYONE is having a great start to 2021! #SupportLocalYYC #calgarybrewery #17thavesw #yyc

In 2018, I built a small but mighty team called Business and Local Economy in City Administration. We were the team who started the #SupportLocalYYC campaign, literally brought patios to the streets, and cut red tape so businesses could survive. But in 2021, I realized that to continue to make real change, I needed to step outside Administration. I quit my job after 20 years, took a leap of faith, and ran for #yyccc. Hard work got me here. And knowing that I'm making a difference for Calgarians is what keeps me going.

Calgarians are rallying around our small business community, supporting local whenever possible – and as a municipal government, we aim to do the same. When we had a need for face coverings for staff, we turned to a made-in-Calgary solution. #supportlocalyyc Read the full story:

This year, we’re asking all Calgarians to #SupportLocalYYC. Shop online, use curb side pickup, and encourage those in your network to shop local. Calgary businesses have done so much to adapt to this pandemic, and we can all play a part in supporting them through it.

Local businesses are the heartbeat of our neighbourhoods & the spine of our economy. These familiar places and the faces behind them make up the spirit of Calgary, helping us feel connected. That's why we're kicking off a #SupportLocalYYC holiday campaign today.

Small businesses account for 95% of all businesses in #yyc. We have the second-highest concentration of local businesses of major Canadian cities. Help them get through this holiday season. When you're getting takeout or buying online, consider supporting local. #SupportLocalYYC

The highest concentration of high-tech works leading in the movement of digital transformation across all our sectors. @calgaryeconomic takeover | #supportlocalyyc
