Locally Lambton is well known for its 5 editions of the Locally Lambton Map - and now it’s back in a new and updated interactive web page!
By updating the webpage to a new version, we can offer more categories that include our usual food and farm categories, as well as an artisans/raw material section along with much more personation than a paper map can. We are excited to announce that the cost has been maintained at a low price of $50/year. This will allow you to edit, update and maintain your advertisement as often as you like with hours, logo, pictures and info.
Live date is late July, so contact us now and let’s get you set up!
