Bring on the Holidays

'Tis the season to be merry, to drink lots of eggnog, gather around the fire or Christmas tree and celebrate the magic of the holidays. It's also the season for shopping, to find those one-of-a-kind gifts everyone loves to give and receive. 

This year when planning your shopping to-do list, we have two words for you: Go local. 

Local gifts are a reflection of your community’s values and culture, where the makers and sellers are your neighbours, friends, and family.

Unique, artisanal, and one-of-a-kind products and holiday experiences are right here in Ontario’s Highlands.

Wander Sustainably

Look for local makers who are using sustainable and eco-friendly practices in their business model.

Consider gifting someone with an experience instead of a product, to lessen our impact on the Earth.

When you make a purchase close to home you are eliminating some of the biggest polluters to our environment - including fuel spent shipping from a distance.

Warm Getaways

From cozy bed and breakfasts to inns, cabins, cottages, yurts, your accommodation will be more than just a place to lay your head.
