Okay kiddo, have you ever gone to a store to buy something and used money to pay for it? Well, you know what money is, right? It's those colorful paper or metal things that we exchange for goods and services.
But have you ever heard of Calgary Dollars? It's a special type of money that we use in Calgary, which is a city in Canada. It looks a lot like regular money, but it's not made by the government. Instead, it's made by a group of people who want to support local businesses in their community.
So how does it work? Well, let's say you want to buy some candy from a local store that accepts Calgary Dollars. Instead of using regular money, you can use Calgary Dollars to pay for your candy. The store will then use those Calgary Dollars to buy things they need from other local businesses that also accept Calgary Dollars. This way, instead of taking money away from the community, the money stays within the community and helps support local businesses.
And the best part is, you can also earn Calgary Dollars by doing things like volunteering or participating in community events. So, not only does it help support local businesses, but it also encourages people to get involved and give back to their community.
So there you have it, Calgary Dollars are a special type of money that helps support local businesses and encourages community involvement. Pretty cool, huh?
