Today (Fri) is the official beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
In the U.S. there’s actually a trifecta of shopping days with Black Friday today (Fri), Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.
Small Business Saturday is not well known here in Canada, but Kim Smythe of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce says it’s always good to spend your money locally…..
Smythe says if it’s the online shopping you like, you can do that with local merchants too.
