By shopping locally, you’re strengthening small businesses and your community.
Originally launched in 2013, the Shop The Neighbourhood campaign encourages Canadians to vary their shopping behaviours by buying goods and services at small local businesses, ultimately keeping their dollars within their communities.
Yellow Pages is a long-time champion of the growth of small businesses and local economies, and Shop The Neighbourhood is our way of promoting the value of neighbourhood shopping to Canadians year-round.
