Seasons' Greetings,
During this special time of year, we like to take the time to share with you how wonderful we think our clients are and to remind the many ventures we work with each year how much we love working with them.
This 2022 Innovation Guelph Holiday Gift Guide is meant to help you, the gift-giver, shift your shopping habits and explore local, Ontario-Made, products and services. Many of the businesses listed here in this guide have great products and services that would make excellent gifts for the people (and pets) you enjoy most in your life (or those you’d like to have in your life).
The entrepreneurs behind these ventures work diligently to develop, test, commercialize, and bring their ideas to life so you can honour those in your life with wonderful gifts and experiences. Many of these companies are eco-friendly, some use sustainably sourced ingredients, many are women-led, and all are made with the sweat and tears of a deserving Canadian entrepreneur.
As you ip through the pages of this booklet, please consider visiting the websites of these companies, purchasing their products and services, sharing this link with friends, and/or simply spreading the word about the awesomeness they work so hard to bring to life.
Entrepreneurs are building a stronger economy for all, so let’s support them as they support us. We thank you kindly – and wish you a happy, safe, and enjoyable holiday season.
With warmth & gratitude,
The Innovation Guelph Team
