2020 has certainly changed the holiday season here in Kitchener Waterloo Ontario Canada.  At this point, we are usually watching for Santa to pop up, attending Christmas parties, and are busy with Holiday Shopping.

With all the changes happening due to Covid-19, many of our local businesses are hoping you shop for Christmas presents here in the Region of Waterloo.  A great way to do this is by purchasing from the vendors on the Virtual Holiday Market happening on ShopKW.ca

The Virtual Holiday Market

A new offer will be posted on ShopKW.ca throughout the Holiday Season to encourage you to Shop Local this year. It is a way to make things merry while supporting local businesses and making our community feel safe. You may even start to feel like one of Santa’s Elves with all the helping you will be doing.

Keep checking from now until Christmas for all the special offer highlights for the Virtual Holiday Market

Terrific TOMS

Being on the Movember KW committee since it's inception we are very aware of the good works done by TOMS. 



So you can guess how excited we were to hear about the #TOMSforTarget initiative to support Canadian families in need.



For each item purchased from TOMS x Target collection from 11.16.2014 – 03.12.2015 in Target Canada stores, Target Canada will be donating funds to The Canadian Red Cross and Food Banks Of Canada. You can read more about it on their TOMS for Target website.

Here are some of the great TOMS items available at Target Canada and you can see just how much of a difference purchasing these items can make.
