Great Success of the “In TMR, We Buy Local” Campaign

The gift certificates, currently in production, should be emailed to their recipients during the week of December 13, and can then be spent at the respective merchants.

In short, since the beginning of the pandemic, the TMR Community has raised no less than $225,000 which will be spent locally to support its much appreciated businesses.

Congratulations again for this great collective effort!

Concept

To support local businesses through this difficult time, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Saint-Laurent – Mount Royal and the Town of Mount Royal, in collaboration with La Ruche and Quebec's Federation of Chambers of Commerce, have created the crowdfunding campaign “We buy local in TMR!".

This project invites citizens to buy gift certificates on the La Ruche website to use at their favourite shops. For every $20 paid, residents will have their gifts certificates increased by $10 so they can actually buy for $30.

How it Works

1. Identify the local businesses you want to encourage from the list below.
2. Visit the La Ruche website.
3. Select the Gift Certificate option.
4. Select the businesses for which you want to purchase gift certificates.
5. Receive your gift certificates by email no later than one month following the end of the campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I use my gift certificate?

Your gift certificate will be emailed to you. Although there is no expiry date, we suggest you use it quickly to stimulate local recovery. 

Can I use my gift certificate for multiple purchases?

Your gift certificate can be used to make several payments.

However, we strongly suggest you use it within three visits to the selected business. Please note that the gift certificate is not redeemable for cash and the merchant will not be able to make change on a purchase under $30. If your bill is over $30, however, you will have to pay the difference.

Is there an expiry date on my gift certificate?

There is no expiry date, but since this campaign aims to help the economy recover, we encourage you to spend it quickly. And if you wait too long, you may lose the certificate or completely forget about it.
