Another day, another lockdown Ottawa. By now we know, that you know what to do. Its time to show our local businesses our support in any way that we can. Our small-business community needs us folks so we've put together ten ways to support local during a lockdown. We want to make it easy for you to shop local in Ottawa.

Its a fact that this holiyay season will look a whole lot different. Even though 2020 has been pretty hard on a lot of small businesses and particularly IRL (in real life) experiences, our mission hasn't changed. 

To connect + inspire the local creative community and to give you, our shoppers, a platform to explore the brands.

At Freewheeling Craft we have been curating Canadian Made brands for four years, bringing in only the best quality goods that are handmade and/or ethically made. You can feel good, knowing where our goods come from and the impact they have.

Whether you set out to buy only local this Christmas or not this year, we have some of the best Canadian made + local brands in store. Quality products, chic branding + design make these brands easy to gift to anyone on your list.
