“It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and we’re excited to launch the fifth edition of our Holiday Gift Guide to help emphasize the importance of supporting local and showcasing unique businesses and artisans in a big way across the region” said Gordon Orr, CEO of Tourism Windsor Essex. “This year we have increased our distribution reach of the guide to more than 75,000 guides being delivered directly to houses and apartments across Windsor Essex. We often see people using the guide as a checklist for items to buy each season – bringing the guide in person to each business and crossing off their naughty and nice list as they explore our shops and districts and leaving a strong local economic impact behind.”
This year’s guide being delivered by Canada Post to 75,000 Windsor Essex homes starting today, which marks a 15% increase in distribution directly to local shoppers.

“This guide would not be possible without the partnership of the Windsor-Essex Small Business and Entrepreneurship Centre and the generous support of our advertisers” said Orr. “We would like to thank the local community for embracing supporting local, and for continuing to do so in the future.”
