Sask. residents encouraged to shop local
The Government of Saskatchewan has announced it is providing $1 million to support a province-wide marketing campaign to encourage Saskatchewan residents to support local businesses and their employees.
For Prince Albert employers like Brian Middlebrook, the announcement is welcomed news.
Middlebrook, who owns and operates Carpet World, told paNOW his business took a direct hit as a result of COVID-19.
“We do a lot of in-home stuff, whether it’s estimates or installs, and of course people don’t want us in their house right now. We don’t necessarily want to be going into some peoples’ houses as well,” he said.
