SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry has introduced a new innovation to help promote their local economy and encourage shopping local during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Tuesday, Dec. 1 South Glengarry businesses will be showcased at an online market organized by the Township of South Glengarry’s Economic Development department in partnership with the Tuesday Night Holiday Market.

The event will start at 7 p.m. on the Wednesday Night Holiday Market’s Facebook page. Each business will be given 15 minutes to showcase themselves, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
The following businesses will be participating:
