Independence Day is designed to show how important locally owned businesses are to lively communities. This serves as the focal point of the “Canadian Bookseller’s Association Independents Matter Campaign.”

“Independents Matters” is part of a momentum-gaining movement supporting the idea that shopping locally offers the best value, the best retail experience and the best support for vibrant, vital and prosperous communities.

Independent bookstores offer more than books; they offer an enriching cultural experience that allows consumers to feel good about driving shorter distances, keeping jobs and money in their own communities and discovering and supporting local authors and business owners.

Polar Peek Books and Treasures owner Patty Reedyk says “By celebrating Indepence Day with our community it’s a way for us to bring awareness to our customers of how important they are to us, and that their shopping here supports much more than just our store, but an important growing movement across Canada.”
