What is #ChooseTBayFirst?
#ChooseTBayFirst is a community awareness campaign dedicated to educating consumers about the benefits of supporting local businesses. It highlights how spending money locally helps create and sustain jobs, strengthens the municipal tax base, and supports charities, sports teams, and cultural organizations. The campaign also celebrates businesses and individuals who actively choose to support Thunder Bay enterprises, fostering a stronger, healthier community for everyone.
Why should we #ChooseTBayFirst?
When we spend our money with #TBay businesses, we contribute to a network that returns our money to our community in ways that benefit all of us, making Thunder Bay a better place to live.
When we spend our money out of the community, it’s gone for good.
