Why We Should All Shop Local During the Holiday Season ‘Tis the season to plan your gift list, and that means you have an opportunity to shop local this holiday season. You’ll be in good company. In 2020, American consumers reported spending nearly $20 billion at local shops on Small Business Saturday alone.1 Maybe you love knowing that when you buy from small business shops because it supports your community. Or maybe you just prefer to avoid crowds at shopping malls, so you’ve decided to shop local this Christmas. Either way, there are many good reasons to support local businesses instead of ordering gifts from online retailers or buying from big-box stores.

Why should I shop small business during the holidays in 2023?

Supporting small business shops is a win for you and for your community (not to mention the people receiving your gifts!)

Why shop local in 2023?

1. It keeps money in your community. If you’re debating about whether to shop small this holiday season, consider this: When you spend $100 at a local business, $68 of it stays in your community. Spend $100 at a big-box retailer, and only $48 stays in the local economy. Those dollars add up. No matter what you purchase, money spent at small business shops generates 3.5 times more wealth than shopping at large national chains.2 2. You’ll find unique items (especially gifts). Local businesses truly shine when it comes to holiday shopping. You are likely to find cool items that you aren’t going to see in chain stores or online retailers. Plus, when recipients unwrap your gift, you’re helping that small business spread their name throughout the community and maybe even bringing them more customers.

Don’t forget to check out local craft fairs if you want to pick up handmade and one-of-a-kind gifts.

3. It creates a sense of community. The more you shop local, the more you’ll get to know your local merchants — and they’ll get to know you. There’s something nice about walking into a store where people greet you by name (not to mention provide exceptional service). Shopping small really does make you feel like part of the community. It’s something big-box stores and online retailers just can’t offer.

4. You’ll help keep your neighbors employed. Local businesses employ an estimated 77 million Americans, creating roughly two-thirds of all private sector jobs.3 Choosing to shop at a neighborhood store not only keeps local small businesses open, it helps all those workers stay employed.

5. It lowers your carbon footprint. If you’re lucky enough to be able to walk to local shops, it cuts down on emissions from your car. But even if you have to drive a few miles to get to your favorite local boutique, you’re probably using less gas than a shopping trip to multiple big-box stores in holiday traffic. Shopping locally also eliminates the carbon footprint of delivery and packaging materials associated with online shopping.

6. You’ll keep local businesses thriving. Spending money at small stores keeps them in business. You’re not just supporting a large corporation. You’re helping a real family whose livelihood might depend on your dollars. Small business shops can’t survive without your support — not just during a shop 8

December 6, 2023

local holiday like Small Business Saturday, but all year long.

7. You’re worried about delays in shipping. This year, you not only have to worry about what gifts to buy, but also whether they’ll arrive on time! According to CBS News, “clogged ports, a stressed trucking industry, labor shortages, higher demand and higher shipping costs are all impacting shipments of toys, electronics, apparel and more.“ When you shop at an independent retailer, you can walk in with an idea and walk right out with a gift in hand.

8. You prefer shopping in a store instead of online. When you shop at a small store, you can actually put your hands on the cool items you want — and you might even have a chance to chat with the shop owner. That means you get one-on-one connections with other people in your community. You just can’t build relationships like that when you buy online.

Cleaning out your freezer before year end? The Northern Light Wildlife Shelter in Smithers is looking for unprocessed meat and fish. The bear cubs thank you!

There’s no place like local for the holidays Local shopping doesn’t always mean spending money at expensive boutiques. Don’t forget to consider restaurants, and local independent coffee shops for gift cards and stocking stuffers. No matter what you buy, if you shop local, you’re putting your money back into your community. That’s the best gift of all.

evenly with chopped pecans and set aside.

Add the sugar, water, salt and butter to a heavy-bottomed pot. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

Once boiling stir occasionally until the mixture reaches 300F, which is the hard crack stage.

Remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla then immediately pour over the chopped pecans.

Use a spatula to spread to the edges into a flat layer then set aside to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and cover with foil for 4 minutes so the chocolate chips soften. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into a thin layer then sprinkle with finely chopped pecans and a bit of sea salt if desired.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before lifting from baking dish and breaking into pieces. You can score the top with a knife then snap into pieces for a cleaner look.

the paper.

Then, put the pins on the 5 points of the star.

Make the frame of the star first.

Mix 4 parts of glue to 1 part of water.

Cut about 2 meters of twine/string (depending on how big your star template is).

Then, soak it in the glue mixture. Take away the excess glue out of the string.

Following the star template, wrap the string around the pins. Let it dry completely.

When the frame of the star is dry, it’s time to add another layer of string around it.

Thank you from The Omineca Ski Club This is our third (but not last!) week in a row talking about our project and infrastructure funders. One of our big supporters is the forestry industry, which of course is such an important economic sector in Burns Lake and area. This week and next, we will be featuring our local community forest organizations, of whom support local non-profits in many ways.

Much gratitude to Burns Lake Community Forest (BLCF) for funding the purchase of our new Skandic snowmobile, a heavy duty pulling machine that can easily manage our G2 groomer (especially useful in the shoulder seasons when the big machine can't quite go out!).

Again, thank you BLCF staff and board members for approving our request! Our groomers cannot wait to take it out for the first time - it will be the first to groom/pack the trails once we get some snow (which is coming soon!!!).
