Did you know you can bring your holiday trees inside for 5-7 days to decorate? Make sure to keep it in a cool place and water it thoroughly about twice in that time. Then simply place it outdoors again in a protected area to plant in the spring!

Holiday trees are $30 each with proceeds going to plant 10,000 Trees in Barrie. They make great porch decorations and table-top trees!

They are going quickly! To pre-order your trees today, visit our website (pickup at the Georgian mall parking lot on Dec. 5th and 6th from 10-5)

Your support could help save a local business. Most small businesses provide gift certificates and offer curb-side pickup to make it extra easy to support them through this incredibly difficult time. When you support local, small businesses, it uplifts your community by:
- maintaining an economic advantage through a one-of-a-kind distinctive character
- linking neighbours in a web of economic and social relationships
- Keeps money in the local economy
- local stores help sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers which are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss & air and water pollution
- small businesses help your community guarantee a much broader range of choices
