At Look Local, we are honoured to work every day with small business owners and entrepreneurs in our community. We know that the people behind these businesses have taken risks and made sacrifices to follow a dream and their passion. Their stories are interesting and inspiring and we wanted to share them with you, our readers. We hope you enjoy the first few profiles in this issue. We plan to make this a regular feature in Look Local, so look out for additional small business stories in the future!
