One of the things I love most about living and working in Guelph is the entrepreneurial spirit that fills our city. From small shops to women-led businesses, every entrepreneur contributes not just a product or service, but also a story, a dream, and a ripple of impact.

Supporting local might start with shopping at a boutique or attending an event in the area but it goes so far beyond that. It’s about investing in people. It’s about cheering for a neighbour’s success. It’s about helping create opportunities and keeping the heartbeat of our city strong.

As a REALTOR®, I see this connection every day. Families move into more than houses. They move into communities. They choose neighbourhoods with vibrant markets, small businesses that know their names, and events that make them feel like they belong.

That is why I am passionate about using my platform to uplift local entrepreneurs, especially women business owners who bring creativity, resilience, and leadership to our city. When we support them, we help businesses grow and we help our community thrive.

Because home is more than where you live. It is who you live among. And when our communities flourish, so do we.
