Shop The Neighbourhood

Shop The Neighbourhood event was a great success in Maple Ridge!
Hope you had a chance to participate.......

About 50 downtown Maple Ridge retail stores put on fabulous deals and customers did some early Christmas shopping. Thanks Yellow Pages for working so successfully with all the Vancouver area BIA’s, to make this first “Shop the Neighbourhood” promotion.

Feel sorry for all those shoppers standing in line for hours, trying to get over the border..........the deals were right here, Shop Local, Shop Your Neighbourhood, Shop Downtown Maple Ridge!
