    The Fort Nelson Chamber of Commerce Challenges You To Shop Local

     

    Fort Nelson retailers and businesses support the community through employment, donations and support of community events. 

     

    Shopping online or out of town does not support your kids teams, local charities or other fundraisers - local business gives tens of thousands of $$ annually back to the community.

     

    Thank your local Retailer by supporting them!

     

    If there is something you need discuss it with our local business people - give them a chance and keep your $$$ here.
