WHAT?

The City of Richmond Hill has launched the #ShopRichmond initiative to support local small businesses during COVID-19.

The aim of the month-long social media campaign and contest is to encourage residents to shop local and help businesses recover from the economic impact of the pandemic.

WHEN?

If you don’t have a social media account, you can still submit your entry via the online submission form.
