Thanks to those who took the pledge!

In an effort to support local businesses that have been hard hit financially by COVID-19, the Listowel BIA launched the Listowel Loves Local campaign, which encouraged locals to shop local and to take the Listowel Loves Local Pledge. 

We want our residents, when possible, to support small businesses in our community as they have supported us.  We also want an online show of support through positive online reviews and social media shares. Those that took the Listowel Loves Local Pledge were automatically entered to win Shop Local Dollars to spend in our community.

To take the pledge, we were looking for a commitment to four specific actions from the Listowel Loves Local Pledge over the coming weeks and months to help our business community. Providing a testimonial and/or sharing on social media and tagging us gave more entries and chances to win! 

The Listowel Loves Local Pledge: 

• I’ll continue to take my personal safety and the safety of those around me seriously.
• As my budget permits, I’ll shop at one or more Listowel (or surrounding North Perth) businesses each week (restaurants, retailers, and service providers). 
• When I am buying a gift for someone I care about, I will consider local options first.
• I will use my digital presence (likes, comments, saves, shares, and reviews) to support local businesses. 

The Listowel Loves Local Campaign contest ran until March 10, 2021. Winners were announced March 15, 2021.  It is not too late to take the pledge and continue to support local!
