As businesses adapt to be compliant with the State of Emergency and Public Health Act, many of your favourite restaurants and retailers are offering delivery and take-out.

To support local businesses, the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ worked with the City of Winnipeg to establish temporary curbside pick-up locations in select locations throughout the Downtown and the Exchange District. These curbside pick-up locations allow patrons to park free for 15 minutes, while picking up food or retail items. In addition, the City is offering one hour free parking at all parking meters throughout Winnipeg.

Buylocal.ly is a free directory to help match shoppers with local restaurants, shops and services who are open for business with pick-up and delivery options.
