MORE Okotoks Love Local / Shop Local
The Okotoks & District Chamber of Commerce was successful in obtaining a government grant to assist with an approved shop local project for the last quarter of 2021. The MORE Okotoks campaign is intended to entice not only residents to support local, but also as added a tourism piece by showcasing Okotoks as a destination with more than just a Costco and sporting events by providing ‘points of interest’ for selfies and photo opportunities, and creating intrigue with our amazing shops and eating establishments. Phase one of this initiative was rolled out during small business week with the installation of our portable OKOTOKS sign at the landmark site on McRae Street. Phase two included a series of commercial style videos showcasing that there ‘are a number of things to do in Okotoks’. We rounded out the holiday season with a MORE Okotoks Love Local/Shop Local contest and maildrop in Okotoks and surrounding areas. Phase four of the project will include the commissioning of local artists to assist us with painting murals in a handful of approved locations through Town. Of course, these artistic masterpieces will not be able to be installed until the spring, but we will have the location, artists, and plan in place by the end of February 2022.
