THUNDER BAY – BUSINESS – Choose Thunder Bay First is the message from Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce President Charla Robinson. A new program from the Chamber of Commerce launched early in December reminds local residents of the benefits of shopping locally.

For the local economy, shopping locally has a very positive impact on the local marketplace and our local economy.

Robinson shares that “Each dollar spent in a local business multiplies up to five times in the local economy.”

The message from the Chamber is a simple one, shopping at home this holiday season provides jobs for our friends and family members.

The program, open to all Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce members allows local businesses to sign up, and the Chamber shares that information on the www.choosetbayfirst.com website as well as daily updates to the Choose Thunder Bay First Facebook page.
