Town Launches its 2nd Annual Give The Gift of Blue Contest, Urges the Community to Support Local Businesses This Holiday Season

Press Releases

This holiday season, the Town of The Blue Mountains urges residents and visitors to shop early, shop local and shop safe, as every dollar spent at a local business is an investment into the community. To reinforce this message the Town has launched its 2nd Annual Give The Gift of Blue shop local campaign.

From now until January 2, 2022, when you make a purchase at a local business in The Blue Mountains, you can enter for a chance to win one of five weekly prizes valued at $350, as well as the chance to win the ultimate Blue Mountains grand prize experience valued at $3,000.

In partnership with Blue Mountain Village Association, The Blue Mountains Chamber of Commerce, Thornbury BIA, Clarksburg Village Association, South Georgian Bay Tourism and Grey County, the initiative emphasizes the importance of shopping early and shopping safely while supporting local businesses throughout the Town.

“Last year we saw tremendous community support for our local businesses, with the campaign generating approximately $100,000 of reported sales within the community,” says Mayor Alar Soever. “This year, let’s build on this success and once again celebrate the holiday season supporting our many great local businesses.”
