The blanket of leaves on the ground and the first swirls of snowflakes in the air can only mean one thing: Winter is coming! And in these unprecedented times, it means many of us are starting our holiday shopping online, trying to beat the rush and meet shipping deadlines. As we continue to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines, we encourage you to support our local businesses, in person if you live locally, or online if you’re from further afield. We put together a list of some of the best of the best across Bruce, Grey and Simcoe Counties. Whether you’re looking to give local food, delicious craft beer or share the work of a local artist, this is locally-infused online shopping at its best.
Read on, and if we’ve missed your favourite, be sure to let us know at info@brucegreysimcoe.com
