#LoveLocalPtboKawarthas

Shop Locally

The Campaign

The purpose of the yearly #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas campaign is simple - we want to celebrate and support businesses and organizations operating in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Our local businesses create jobs, support local charities, and contribute to the unique nature of our community.  In Peterborough, the business community represents about 30% of the tax bill.  This is tens of millions of dollars that goes directly back into our community!
The 2023 #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas Campaign is starting soon!
Our NEW digital banner will feature 45 member business logos and will be placed at every chamber event throughout the year. Members attending the events put their business card in the fishbowl (or facsimile thereof) and a draw for $1000 to spend at any or all campaign sponsors happens at the December TBX.
If you are one of sponsors don't forget to connect with us to book your 60-120 second video profile highlighting YOUR business!
Contact Nigel Broersma for details

It's also a Social Media campaign: The community is encouraged to use the #LoveLocalPtboKawarthas to highlight their positive consumer experiences.
  • 96% of member businesses are considered small business (0-99 employees)
  • 53% of member businesses would be considered micro businesses (up to 5 employees)
  • These businesses can be found across all industry sectors from accommodations to retail to restaurants to start-ups to health care and more
  • The businesses contribute mightily to the local economy and community through charitable donations, taxes, and employment opportunities
