Many people today are asking how they can support local businesses. The idea came about to offer a way to pull everyone together – businesses and citizens alike – to show our pride and passion for local Calgary businesses while supporting one another and also having some fun. Businesses that participate help themselves as well as other local businesses. It’s a catalyst for positive momentum that brings tremendous synergy for everyone involved.
