THINK LOCAL SOUTH SHORE!
Working Better Together!
Nova Scotia’s South Shore is home to many vibrant communities, inspiring entrepreneurs, talented artists and artisans, and of course numerous small businesses. It is this diversity, our welcoming spirit, and awe inspiring natural beauty which makes the South Shore so special. Whether you are a multi-generational resident or a newcomer to the area, it truly is a great place to call home.
The purpose of this website is to showcase what our region has to offer and hopefully encourage everyone to Think Local when making their purchases of goods and services. We don’t need every dollar to be spent locally but we know that the more dollars that are… the healthier and more vibrant our communities remain. What we all love about the South Shore will only change if we allow it to change.
Whenever you can, put your money where your heart is. Live Local, Eat Local, Shop Local!
