It's that time of year again, a solid week of celebrating the wonderful small businesses within our community.

Small Business week celebrates Canadian entrepreneurs and their contributions to our community in more than just an economic way.

Our small businesses are made up of everyday people, families who are from the Foothills that spread joy through their businesses within the Foothills.

Retailers, restaurateurs, artists, assistance providers, personal trainers, repairers, designers, carers, realtors! (the list goes on and on!)

They ALL make up the heart of Okotoks!😊

So this week make sure to support local...as we all know it's been a tough year on everyone, including small businesses.

And with Christmas coming up help cross off those lists by buying from local businesses!

Here's how to do it, I want you to go into the Facebook comments and TAG or COMMENT a small business that you adore!

Help get their name out there and inspire people for the holiday season! (it feels weird talking about Christmas when we haven't even had Halloween yet but it's closer than you think!)

I'll start, a local creator I'm obsessed with right now is Ivory + Embers, they're a very new, very small candle company that creates these heavenly and very aesthetic candles right here in Okotoks.

I literally have one of their candles in EVERY SINGLE ROOM lol and you can find them @ the Main street Market! How convenient.

So there's mine...let's hear yours! Drop as many tags/comments as you want.

Also make sure to follow the Okotoks & District Chamber of Commerce Facebook page all week long to see what kind of events they are hosting for small businesses over Small Business week!

Check it out here.

Show those local businesses some love y'all.😍
