The showcase is a complementary event for businesses and community groups to participate.

Mayor James Seeley stated, “The township is excited to host the first Puslinch Community Showcase and support our local businesses and community groups. 

“This event is an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to display their offerings and for the community to discover and support local.
