Do All Your Holiday Gift Shopping with Be Local

Be Local

Be Local is a network of Calgary businesses that support community, first and foremost. The holidays are of course a very busy time, and holiday shopping is inevitable. Be Local is passionate about ditching the malls to support our neighbours, and they have put together an amazing online store-front so you can shop your favourite local businesses while crossing everyone off your list!

About Be Local

Be Local has over 400 members, consisting of local businesses that range from restaurants, body-care and wellness, to handmade knit goods and art.

Being the only local business network in Calgary focused on values and connection over profit, they have gained strong relationships through collaboration and supporting their members directly in any way they can. This year, they even went as far as to waive their annual membership fee, extending their local love to any and all struggling local businesses after the impact brought by COVID-19. 

Shopping local isn’t only beneficial for our local economy and employment, it is also a way to skip the long mall lines, avoid any supply chain delays and instead, support your neighbours, their families, and their dreams.
