https://ift.tt/2UEGR99
There’s never been a more crucial time to support local small businesses than right now. As many governments across Canada have shuttered all non-essential businesses – which is all, if not most, fashion and beauty businesses – as a result of COVID-19, it’s imperative that we as a society step up to the plate to help give these companies as much hope as possible. Last week, our fashion editor Eliza Grossman shared her shopping cart picks from five Canadian small businesses and today, we’re sharing a list of 39 small businesses that you can support via shopping online or purchasing a gift card to use once the lockdown protocols are lifted.
