Town of Cobourg, DBIA invites residents to 'Eat Local' - ThePeterboroughExaminer.com

With Ontario restaurant dining rooms closed until Jan. 31, Cobourg is using social media with the hopes of encouraging residents to “Eat Local.”

The Town of Cobourg’s economic development department, in collaboration with the Cobourg Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA), recently launched the “Eat Local” campaign in support of local cafés, bakeries, pubs and restaurants that are offering take-out services under the current government regulations that prohibit indoor diners.

The social media campaign was created to help local eateries advertise their take-out menus and food services being provided to the community.

“The Cobourg DBIA would like to remind everyone that all of our business and services are open in accordance with current government regulations,” said Deborah Annibalini, DBIA administrator.

“Please be kind to one another during this time and remember to support your local downtown businesses.”

The “Eat Local” take-out campaign includes two new eateries featured on the DBIA and Town of Cobourg’s respective social media pages weekly.

The DBIA will showcase downtown businesses every Tuesday with the town covering eateries across Cobourg on Thursdays.

Features will include information about take-out menus, hours of operation and product photos.

"This campaign will really put a spotlight on the wonderful local food establishments we have here in Cobourg,” said Ashley Purdy, communications manager for the Town of Cobourg.

“I am pleased to collaborate with the Cobourg DBIA on a campaign that will help further support our local economy through this pandemic.”

This campaign is one of a few recent initiatives the town’s economic development department has launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to assist small businesses.
