Small businesses in Stratford are getting some help when it comes to joining the online world.
The City of Stratford is joining the ShopHERE powered by Google program, with a goal of getting local businesses online this year.
ShopHERE started in Toronto and officials say it helps independent businesses and artists build a digital presence and minimize the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Google Canada recently announced a one million dollar investment to expand the program to municipalities across the country.
The City of Stratford is one of the first, outside of the GTA to participate.
Local businesses and artists can apply for the program to get their online store built at no-cost.
