We’re all feeling the effect COVID-19 is having on our personal lives, our communities and our local businesses. The Austin Heights BIA has partnered with the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, POCO BIA, Shop Local Port Moody and the Tri-City News on a #SupportLocal campaign to aid Tri-Cities businesses during these trying times. Read the statement from the Chamber below:

From the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce,

In recent days we’ve all been consumed with news on the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it’s affecting our health, our families, and our businesses. Small business is the backbone of the Canadian economy. During this time, it’s critical that we continue to support our local businesses.

That’s why the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Shop Local Port Moody, Austin Heights BIA, Downtown PoCo BIA, and Tri-City News to connect with the community about the importance of supporting local and doing your part to help businesses sustain. 

How can you help:

1.     Give the gift of business: Consider purchasing gift certificates to your favourite shops, restaurants or businesses. You could either give a gift to a friend, keep for yourself, or give to someone in need.

2.     Keep your subscription: gyms, art studios, local media and more rely on this to keep their doors open. A few weeks of continued support can save a business.

3.     Order takeout or delivery: Place an online or phone order with your favourite restaurant or store. Click to see our list of restaurants offering take-out/delivery

4.     Share the love: Support your favourite businesses on social media; like their content, share their posts, write reviews.

These are challenging and unprecedented times and we need to work together. We are stronger when we support each other.
