Small Town Love is a movement connecting people with the independent shops and services that are the heart and soul of their communities. The program is designed to deliver unique marketing campaigns in communities throughout central and northern B.C. that celebrate locally owned independent businesses with an aim to strengthen their competitiveness and keep more dollars in the local economy.
The program represents a partnership between Northern Development Initiative Trust, Small Town Love founder and entrepreneur Amy Quarry and communities throughout the region.
Quarry created and launched the original “Small Town Love” initiative in the City of Quesnel. With more than 50 local Quesnel-based businesses working collaboratively under the “Small Town Love” marketing brand, Quarry’s original program was extremely well received and highly successful. Since then, hundreds of locally owned independent businesses in nearly a dozen communities throughout the region have signed on to have their products and stories featured through unique community web portals.
