Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store: A Community-Focused Initiative

The Fenelon Falls + District Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to introduce a new chapter in community engagement – the Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store!
One of the primary goals of the Chamber is to generate funds that we reinvest back into the community to support our members; as a non-profit, the Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store offers us a low-risk, revenue-generating opportunity to do this.
This initiative is not just a store; it's a labour of love by volunteers committed to making a positive impact.
Recognizing the challenges of a changing economic landscape, the Chamber has kept membership fees unchanged despite the increasing cost of living and operating a business. Our budget remains unchanged but our costs have increased. Seeking creative avenues for revenue without added overhead, the Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store emerges as a solution, offering quality goods with no additional costs associated with member fees, including shipping.

As a tourism office, we value the feedback of our visitors. The Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store was born out of the desire to offer visitors items they wished to purchase as souvenirs of their visit, without duplicating existing offerings in town. While we will have a small quantity of items in stock at the Chamber office during the busy tourist season, these items are primarily available online year-round, to help us reach Fenelon Falls lovers near and far.

The creative designs featured in our store are crafted by local Chamber members. By keeping the artistic process within our community, we not only celebrate local talent but also contribute to the economic growth of our members.

Every purchase from the Fenelon Falls Merchandise Store funds the chamber and keeps membership fees unchanged. It is a step toward a more vibrant and prosperous community. By choosing our goods, you actively contribute to the sustainability of the Chamber's initiatives and the prosperity of Fenelon Falls. A recap of these initiatives and other accomplishments of the Chamber in 2023 will be shared in an upcoming edition of the Town Crier.

Thank you for being a part of this community-focused venture. Together, let's make Fenelon Falls an even better place to live, work, and visit.

Sincerely,
Board of Directors, Fenelon Falls & District Chamber of Commerce
