Do You Have a Pet Friendly Business...
TAKE 5 Newsmagazine is partnering with the
Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre to identify "pet-friendly" shops and businesses in the area.
An article in
TAKE 5 print and digital editions will run about this topic and we will provide a decal for shops to post in storefronts and on social media.
Too many shoppers risk the well-being of their pet and leave them in the car or go home without taking the time to shop locally. We want to promote local shopping as well as providing a safe environment for pets in our community.
We would like to see wide participation from the business community. Even if you don't allow pets inside your business do you have a deck or do you put out a bowl of fresh water or have doggy treats for your customers' companions?
Tell us by filling out this form and email it back to Marina at [email protected] or dropping it off at the Take 5 or Chamber/Visitor Centre

Eat Stay Play Registration

MARKETING
Participants will benefit from a robust and broad-reaching marketing campaign to support the program. They will also receive a dedicated space on the campaign website to showcase the offer and a complimentary marketing kit to support with their own promotion.
Please find the Information package and registration forms linked below.
