It’s a great idea to purchase gift cards to places you love, that can be used now or at another time. Consider buying one to a business that is temporarily closed, or who you know could use the added support. Gift cards are also a great gift idea, and work to help keep business afloat. Purchase local gift cards from businesses directly or online from Okanagan Lifestyle’s Local Gift Card Shop.
Show your love through social media. Many of our Downtown businesses have social media accounts and websites. Give your favourites a follow, send a positive message, share stories, write a review, tag them in your posts of their products, keep up to date with what they are doing during this crisis.
You can now shop local at home, with products you love delivered right to your door or by curb-side pickup! Browse KelownaNow E-Commerce Directory to see who is online, or check with each business directly. In-store shopping is also available for many shops with guidelines to help keep everyone safe! Supporting local helps keep our business community strong!
