Happy Thanksgiving, Sarnia-Lambton. 🧡

This year we’re thankful for a community that’s rallied around the Million Dollar Vault. Thank you to every citizen who’s come on board as a Insider and now has a shot at winning a MILLION DOLLAR SHOPPING SPREE. And thank you to the local businesses taking part so far, with more being added every week.

Want to put $50 into a local business you love? Here’s how.

Become a Insider and you get a $50 gift card to a local business you pick yourself. That’s just the start! All year long you’ll unlock exclusive offers from local businesses: perks, discounts, freebies, BOGOs and more. Use them and you could save somewhere between $200 and $500 over the year, while supporting even more of the local spots you love.

Show our local businesses how thankful you are.

Saturday shoppers are already out spending local.

The question is: are your gift cards where they can find them? 🤔

Businesses participating in the Million Dollar Vault sell us their gift cards at full face value. We pay you. Then, when a Local Insider chooses your business, they walk in ready to spend their gift card in store.

No discounting. No participation fee. Just another way to turn local interest into local spending.

Want your business to be part of it? DM us and we’ll get you the details.

Being a Local Insider isn’t just about one perk. It’s about having more reasons to choose local all year long. 🗓️

Throughout your membership, you’ll have access to exclusive deals and offers from participating local businesses across Sarnia-Lambton.

Maybe it’s a reason to finally try somewhere new. Maybe it’s a little extra from a business you already love. Either way, being an Insider means local comes with a few more perks.

And that’s on top of your $50 local gift card, giveaways, prizes and your chance to crack the Million Dollar Vault.
