Buy Local at Breakout Networking

Let’s Meet Some More Faces Behind Our Sudbury Businesses

Last month, I joined the October Breakout Networking session. It was one of those evenings full of laughter, good chat and plenty of talk about everything from work to life in general.

We also took a moment to celebrate the importance of  buying local. Between the chatter, cups of tea and shared ideas, we gathered this brilliant bunch for a quick Buy Local photoshoot.

These are the people behind some of our local businesses. Each one does something a little different, but all share one thing in common, their love for our community, its people, and the importance of supporting one another.
