The Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce is launching a new eCommerce platform for businesses in the region.

The Shop Local Marketplace will serve as a one-stop shop for residents to support local businesses in the RMWB. Businesses will be able to sign up and list their products for sale on the platform.

“Shopping local provides job opportunities, inspires community members to start their own businesses, and drives positive economic change,” says Dianna de Sousa, Executive Director of the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce.

“The Shop Local Marketplace is another way for dollars to stay in our region.”

The marketplace will serve as a platform to extend reach and connect new businesses with new new customers.

The Shop Local Marketplace is being offered free for the first 50 businesses to sign up, with promo code SHOPLOCAL. The first 50 businesses will also be entered to win $5,000 in Love.Shop.Local prepaid cards.
