Small independent businesses are the driving force in our local economy and contribute immensely to the vibrancy of our neighbourhoods. The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre supports our local businesses year-round, and you too can show your appreciation by shopping local this holiday season.
It’s easy to support small businesses by buying gifts directly from the store, finding unique products at holiday markets and using BIA dollars to shop in main street commercial districts.
The 2024 Windsor Essex Holiday Gift Guide features locally crafted and curated products that would make a perfect gift for someone that you care about this holiday season. The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre is excited to once again sponsor the guide created by Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island, designed in partnership with the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Centre and the W.E. Made It Program.
