This October, Downtown Maple Ridge is giving residents a special reason to shop local. From October 5–18, the Give Thanks to Small Business campaign invites the community to visit participating downtown businesses, discover local products and services, and celebrate the people who help make Maple Ridge unique. Shopping locally does more than check items off your list—it strengthens neighbourhood connections, supports local entrepreneurs, and helps keep Downtown Maple Ridge vibrant. Whether you are looking for a thoughtful gift, enjoying a meal, or exploring a new service, your support makes a meaningful difference. There is also an exciting opportunity to win. By shopping at participating businesses and following the campaign entry details, residents can enter for a chance to win one of two prize packages valued at $750 each. It is a great way to turn everyday purchases into community impact and a little extra excitement. Mark your calendar for October 5, plan a downtown visit, and invite a friend or neighbour to join you.
