2020 has been hard on all of us. But for local Montreal businesses, the effects of the pandemic have really hit hard. And with the second wave coinciding with the holiday shopping, there's no better time to support local.

One of the greatest parts of Montreal is the collections of small boutiques and talent in all aspects that truly show off the Montreal flair for just about anything.

And to help keep this incredible culture of creativity alive, let's give our favourite spots the ultimate gift this holiday season of our love and support.
