Thank you for shopping local and choosing the Camrose region! We'd like to shout out all the businesses that participated in the Choose Camrose Region campaign, were featured in the 2024-2025 gift guide, and hosted cute gnomes around Camrose for everyone to find.
This year, we gave away over $4,000 in local gift cards to our weekly prize winners 🙌
Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday season.

Shopping with small business owners has such a positive impact on our community. Hear more about a local champion for shopping at hidden gems, building connections, and trying new things!

Recently I had the privilege of being a guest on Sharon Dekoning’s podcast, It’s Time For Success: The Business Insight Podcast. We talked about my Whisk’d Away with Lindsay adventures and the journey that led me to where I am today.

The episode is called “Backyard Tourism: Giving Back to the Community, with Lindsay Heisler” and you can find it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify (you can find more info here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/cc5f6f7c).

I’d love it if you would give it a listen! You can also follow along on Sharon's business page, It's Time Promotions.

Time to discover some new Camrose businesses while you're shopping local!

Camrose Business Christmas Cheer

With Canada Post strikes, and delays out the ying yang, it's a fantastic time to support our local businesses. It's our people after all, the ones sponsoring our sports teams, and community initiatives, the ones pushing OUR economy along.

Let's start a thread of Camrose businesses, Christmas offerings, and all things a like.

Drop the social media handles and leave a wee note about what's going on.

We have lots of magic here in Camrose, let's show case it 🌟
