To celebrate the strength and perseverance that Durham’s business community has displayed in 2020, and their ongoing contributions to our local economy, the Region of Durham has officially proclaimed December 14 to 20 as Shop In Durham Week.
As part of the #ShopInDurham campaign, this week recognizes the role that the Durham Region Joint Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade play in supporting local businesses. All residents are invited to shop local across Durham’s eight local area municipalities for their holiday gift-giving and share messages of support.
Here’s how you can take part:
Follow Durham Tourism on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and use #ShopInDurham to join the fun.
