It's ! Did you know that 25 businesses have newly opened or undertaken expansions in our community over the last 18 months? I am continually amazed by the vision, determination, and perseverance of the entrepreneurs in Mississippi Mills.
This year, both experienced and new business owners have worked harder than they ever have before. COVID-19 has demanded that they adapt, pivot and find the grit to respond to ever-changing scenarios. Now is the time to show ALL local businesses some love! And remember, without even spending money, you can be supportive to businesses:
• Follow them online
• Share their posts
• Review them on Facebook or Google
• Recommend them to friends
