Hey Gull Lake!

Given that the United States has declared that tariffs will go into effect tomorrow, it is more important than ever that we support our local businesses to help keep our local economy strong. If we buy Canadian goods and shop locally when we can, we can make an important impact for our community. Here are some great reasons why buying locally matters:

Boosts the Local Economy:

Every dollar we spend locally helps to sustain and create jobs and provide for local families. When you shop at a local business, you are not just buying a product or service; you are also supporting your neighbors and friends. Local businesses are more likely to use other local services, such as banks, local service providers, and suppliers, resulting in a chain of economic benefits across the community. This contributes to creating a more durable and self-sustaining local economy.

Local Businesses Pay Municipal Taxes

Local businesses contribute significantly to municipal tax revenues, funding essential public services such as streets, parks, swimming pools, and emergency services. These taxes ensure the community has well-maintained infrastructure, recreational facilities, and robust emergency response systems. By supporting local businesses, we help sustain and enhance the quality of life in our community, making it an attractive place to live.

Support for Nonprofits:

Local companies contribute to various charitable groups' fundraising efforts, which help community facilities, events, and vital programs like the Christmas Food Hamper. Their support for non-profit organizations contributes significantly to the strength of our community.

Better Customer Service:

Owners of local businesses are more likely to give personal and reliable services.

Let’s show our support for Gull Lake's amazing local businesses and our great country, Canada. Whether it's shopping at a local store, eating at a local restaurant, or attending a local event, every little bit helps. Together, we can have a positive impact on our community and ensure a bright future for Gull Lake and Canada.
