Bee LocalWe're a not-for-profit association of Calgary businesses that are locally owned and sustainably operated.  REAP Members contribute more to Calgary economically, socially and environmentally than chain stores, which is why we're celebrating being local.

Spot the bee to find businesses that share our values. Then BE LOCAL by pollinating our garden of merchants and watch our community grow greener and more resilient.

Make more impact by being local
