Niagara Shop Local

Local businesses are owned by people who live here and are fully invested in the success of our whole community. They are our fellow coaches, committee volunteers and often the first people we reach out to for donations to the community groups that we’re involved with.

When you shop at local businesses, you build relationships and receive incredibly friendly, personal service. The diversity of products and services they offer helps to preserve the unique character of our towns.

Small, locally owned businesses provide the largest share of net new jobs generated each year, and also provide the most stable employment opportunities in our community.

When you shop locally, everyone wins.

Have a local business SHOUT OUT to share please send your update to info@myniagaraonline.com


Support Niagara, How you like it.

#niagaramyway

Developed in partnership between the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce, #NiagaraMyWay is a multi-media campaign designed to encourage people to support local businesses and share how Niagara is unique to them. It is a campaign that invites personalization, enabling users to interpret how they enjoy Niagara and share that experience with their social followers. For more information, please visit gncc.ca/niagaramyway/ or www.chambernotl.com/shop-local

myNiagara Online is excited to be working in collaboration with the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce to promote community awareness and participation in this exciting Niagara Shop Local initiative. View all our #niagaramyway posts and stories here
