OrilliaMatters and the City of Orillia are proud to present the Stay Safe & Shop Local Gift Card Auction.
The auction is on now and features over 60 local gift cards totalling thousands of dollars in products and services that you can bid on.
We have a bunch of fantastic gift cards you could win, starting at half the price of their value, to a variety of local businesses and restaurants, including Tops In Pizza, Hardwood Ski and Bike, Art’s Clothing and Shoes, Downtown Orillia and more!
The auction offers a fun and easy way to support local while getting incredible deals on food, entertainment, and services in Orillia, with starting bids of 50 percent off the face value of the card. Pick some up for loved ones and friends, or just treat yourself!
This auction is a part of the City of Orillia’s Stay Safe – Shop Local. It Matters Now, More Than Ever campaign, which encourages area residents to support businesses in the region during and post COVID-19.
“Orillia businesses make up a significant percentage of our economy. Nearly 70 cents of every dollar spent locally, stays local,” says Ted Emond, Chair of the City of Orillia’s Economic Recovery Task Force.
“The owners and operators of these businesses have supported our local athletic groups, kids’ sports teams, arts and music groups and local charities. Now, when they are facing tough times and are in need of some help, it’s time for us to support them,” stated Edmond.
