Weekend itineraries: this holiday season

It’s hard to believe, but this is the last itinerary post of 2022. If you haven’t decided how you’re spending the holiday season, keep reading for some suggestions. Spoiler alert, supporting local is a big theme.

Throughout the holiday season and as we head into the New Year, supporting local businesses is always great. Local businesses are tied closely to our community and help support sports teams and the local arts and culture scene. When you spend money at a local business, more stays in the community compared to a big box store. Find out more reasons why it’s so important to support local and ways to do it by clicking here.

We have a handy-dandy business directory which makes finding local businesses easier. There are several ways to customize the directory to narrow down what you’re searching for. From new businesses opening this past year to sporting goods and even pharmacies, there are several layers to choose from to help you search. Try it out and see how easier it is to find a range of businesses in Strathcona County.

Our restaurant map is always popular and makes choosing where to eat so much easier. It’s a great resource when you can’t decide what restaurant you feel like supporting, and it’s constantly being updated, so check it regularly for new additions. We recommend printing off a copy and keeping it on your fridge, but the online version is also excellent!
