SUMMARY:21 days of Christmas 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth Annual 21 Days of Christmas is here! \nOver the last few years\, the BIA has organized 21 Days of Christmas promoting locals to do their shopping for holiday gifts in Downtown Squamish as part of a #shoplocal campaign for small businesses and this year is no different. \nThis campaign is always such a great success. Research shows that BC local businesses create more than double the economic impact of their chain competitors. For every $100 spent with a BC local business\, $63 is re-circulated back into our BC economy. \nEach business that signs up to participate receives a ballot box\, ballots and a poster to display in their window notifying people that they are a participant in 21 Days of Christmas. When you spend a minimum of $10 at a participating business\, you simply fill out a ballot and are then entered to win THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in prizes from the participating businesses’. \n\nThe more you shop\, eat and explore in downtown Squamish\, the more chances they have to win!
